When it comes to the art of brewing, serving and sampling craft beers, there are a few experts on the subject right here in Barrington. The owners of Wool Street Grill & Sports Bar and The Onion Pub & Brewery are teaming up to bring you locally brewed BEER, in a whole new way, on Wednesday nights!
Starting this fall, Wool Street is now offering on tap six craft beers currently produced at The Wild Onion Brewery in Lake Barrington, and it gets even better…
They’re also hosting a regular “Craft Corner” beer event on the last Wednesday night of each month, featuring locally brewed beers and guest beer experts, like Onion Pub owners, brewers and distributors, Mike and John Kainz.
It’s a new partnership that’s all about encouraging us to “drink local” and enjoy locally sourced and locally sold craft beers. “This concept of offering a locally brewed craft beer night with food pairings and education is totally new and unique to Barrington.”…
Wool Street owner, Mark Green says that he’s really proud to be featuring beers produced at Lake Barrington’s Onion Pub & Brewery. “I think it’s fabulous when two local entities can tag team together to bring a great product into Barrington in a way that fosters community pride and benefits our community infrastructure.”
Wool Street owners, Mark and Mindi Green say featuring another local business for Craft Beer Wednesdays fits right in to their overall philosophy. “We believe a solid commitment to the community in which we live is good business practice and it’s our core business principle.”
Craft Corner Wednesdays will take place on the last Wednesday of each month. But because of Halloween, the next Craft Corner Wednesday event will be at Wool Street (128 Wool Street), starting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7th. There is no admission fee.
And stay tuned! Next week, we’ll be sharing what this new “drink local” partnership means to the man behind the beers. Brewmaster, Mike Kainz gave us a tour of the Wild Onion Brewery in Lake Barrington and shared some cool facts about the beer business which will publish, along with some great photos, on Monday of next week.
