Map Room Beer School

Sure, we all know quite a bit about beer. But it never hurts to sit down with a noted expert and have fun being schooled, in beer that is. That's why we have a local brewer stop by the Map Room most every month to walk us through some of the nuances of beer and its appreciation. Greg Browne, brewmaster at Mickey Finn's Brewery in Libertyville, IL, is our regular guide. Students study several beers and learn exactly what they're tasting and the roles that the ingredients and the brewing process have in forming those aromas and flavors. Don't miss a great opportunity to enjoy fine beer, good company and expert tutelage.

Beer School will be on summer vacation in July. Class resumes again on August 22 - stay tuned for the topic.

Ticket Purchase Policy: Tickets go on sale on the Monday evening before beer school, starting at 7 p.m. -- no earlier. As always, it's cash only, maximum 2 tickets per purchase, and first come-first serve until all tickets have been sold. You must have a ticket to attend Beer School. Sorry, no exceptions.

Please arrive on time if you want to sample all of the featured beers. Late arrivals will not be allowed to "catch up." Also, please be considerate of our speaker by keeping the noise level to a minimum. Remember that the bar can already be quite loud and most of our beer school guests are actually interested in what Greg has to say! There's always ample time for socializing during and after the event. Thanks in advance for your help.

NOTICE: In order to improve our bar service and attention to customers, Map Room instituted a cash-only policy on Monday, June 22. An additional ATM is now available for your convenience.

Please feel free to drop us a line, call (773.252.7636) or better yet, stop by!
