Chicago’s Black-owned breweries unite for 6-week residency in the West Loop, including collaboration beer: ‘It reminds me of a revolutionary time’

Also on tap for the residency will be Harold’s 83 Honey Ale, a beer developed by two Black Chicago brewers to honor Chicago’s first Black mayor, Harold Washington: Jay Westbrook, who is active in Chicago beer through his company, Black Beer Baron; and Sam Ross, a brewer for Goose Island Beer Co. Harold’s 83 Honey Ale is made by Haymarket, and a business partnership between the brewery, Westbrook and Ross.
