Brats, Bourbon and Brews Event This Week In Joliet

JOLIET, IL — If you have not got your tickets yet, there's still time to do so for the fifth annual Brats, Bourbon and Brews event. It's from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at The Jacob Henry Mansion. Tickets are $40.

Tom Grotovsky, owner of The Great American Bagel, is one of the key event organizers. Wednesday's event is supporting the Illinois Rock and Roll Museum in downtown Joliet.

According to the event's website, "Bourbon, Brats & Brews started as a small 'Men’s Night Out' event. Everyone was asked to bring a donation for the local homeless mission and enjoy fine bourbon and beer for a cause. It was such a great time that the event grew the following year to include men and women alike. We are so fortunate as this event grows in popularity, that larger donations are being given to a different local charities such as Cornerstone Services, Easter Seals, and Morning Star Mission."

According to the Brats, Bourbon and Brews website, "this event is the best place for first timers to sample high quality, delicious bourbon. For those that prefer beer, the brews offered are just as delicious and are from local, national and international sources ... Every year there is an amazing variety of bratwursts to enjoy ... Along with food and drink, live music is performed by local artists."
