45th Ward Ale to be released at Gale Street

Join the Northwest
Side’s Lake Effect Brewing Company as they host a release party for their new
45th Ward Ale at the Gale Street Inn, 4914 North Milwaukee Ave. Clint Bautz and Lynn Ford, co-owners of Lake Effect, put out the call to friends, neighbors and home brewers for hops grown in the 45th Ward. They also thought the Gale Street Inn, which is celebrating 50 years of business in the middle of the ward, would be the perfect place for the release. Gale Street has been hosting events throughout 2013 that pay-it-forward to the neighborhood that has kept it busy since 1963. There is no cover charge for the event, but a $10 donation that will go to Jefferson Memorial Park entitles you to complimentary bar bites and one ticket for a door prize raffle.
