At the helm of many city-wide breweries and taverns were women who were responsible for serving patrons, handling the books, and managing overall operations. The contribution of women to beer culture in late 19th century Chicago was essential to both the growth of the city and the beer industry.
Forgotten Half, a collaboration between the Chicago Brewseum and Goose Island Beer Company, aims to honor and celebrate these women. Staying true to history, this brew is crafted from period American pale ale recipes and is made with six row malted barley, Cluster hops (one of the earliest hop varieties in the country), and a strain of ale yeast from a historic brewery.
Liz Garibay and Bill Savage host a conversation about the important role that women played in 19th century beer and tavern industry. Goose Island brewers discuss the beer and the collaboration. And, of course, there’s beer!
Ticket fee includes a virtual music set from DJ Charlie, light snacks, and three beers, including Forgotten Half. This event has a limited capacity due to COVID-19. All guests must show proof of vaccination.
