75th Street Brewery - 11am - White Tie Belgian-style White Ale Tapping: Our uber-delicious witbier is brewed with the traditional spices of coriander and orange peel, but also with two not-so-secret ingredients: Thai galangal spice (a more aromatic cousin to ginger) & Thai lime leaves for an extra citrusy fragrance.

Am I the only one who can't get excited about the 75th Street Brewery? I've really tried to like the place but the beer they brew is not good. I want them to get better, but it just doesn't seem to be happening.
Friday 5/18 there is a special cask tapping of a Summit beer at Barley's on Midland too.
I find 75th street to be a pretty typical brewpub. They may not wow me, but I wouldn't say their beer was bad either. That said, I have never tried their limited release beers and I didn't start going there until about a year ago, so my sample size is small.
Thanks for the awesome update!
Just a note regarding Trip being the only person to have a Boulevard beer named after him. Don't forget about Bob's 47 named after Bob Werkowitch and (although not long passed) Boss Tom's Bock named after Tom Pendergast.
You can add Old Clarence (Clarence "Mikey" Prince) to that list of Boulevard Beers
