Oh yeah, on Friday the 21st, Hess Brewing has a FAC (friday afternoon club) all are invited. This is a Nano-brewery that is doing great. Once a month on friday's they have food, music and beer. A really good time. You can talk to Mike and check out his small brewery.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the info! I can't wait to get out there. Its fucking freezing in Chicago. Unfortunately, I'll have to skip the hot Brazilian bartender since my girlfriend who also loves craft beer will be with me. And I checked out the Hess site but my flight leaves early afternoon on Friday the 21st.
