    Local Irish Restaurant Celebrates Chicago Craft Beer Week – MyChiNews.com 

    Congrats Chicago, we’ve survived yet another weird wave of cold fronts and have made it into the beloved summer season. Times where beach outings and lakeside walks are regularity and street fests don every village block throughout the length of three months.

    In celebration we are able to treat ourselves to the kickoff to summer fests May Fest that starts this weekend May 15-17 at North Ashland Avenue at Barry. Also another great treat for us this summer is Chicago Craft Beer Week is hitting Chicago beginning this Thursday May 14 through May 24 celebrating all the goodness that beer has to offer in the Chicagoland area.

    Different local pubs and breweries will be showcasing different bars on tap and made available to the general public. One of Chicago’s Irish restaurants in the North Center Mrs. Murphy & Sons is unveiling a new beer named, “Rua” which means red in Irish. The ale is an Irish red ale spiced with fresh ginger.

    Fans of beer will be able to enjoy free tastings of Rua will be available at Mrs. Murphy & Sons from 5 p.m. on Friday May 22. The launch event will be an exclusive to Mrs. Murphy & Sons and a great way to start the summer right.

    Cheers

    What I’m Doing This Weekend – ChicagoMag.com, 05.13.2015

    Up next in our series of weekend plans from notable, in-the-know locals—a.k.a. people we like: actor Penelope Walker. The Project(s) runs through Sunday, June 21.

    “Friday, I’ll probably take a walk around the lake and then I’ll grab something at Growling Rabbit. They have the best quiche—the crust is really flaky and buttery and usually there’s a veggie option. They also have a really good quinoa salad. They are probably my go-to every morning. Then I’ll do the show at 8; usually I’m pooped after that.

    “Saturday, in between shows, I’ll probably do a workout at Fit Body Boot Camp. They take it to the next level and it’s really motivating. Sometimes after the show, we go over to Mrs. Murphy and Sons Irish Bistro for drinks. It’s a bar and a restaurant; it seems to have something for everyone. It’s really big, but it feels very neighborhood-y.

    “Sunday, I’ll probably go to A Taste of Heaven in Andersonville. They have really good pancakes and their coconut cream cake is fantastic.” —As told to Tomi Obaro….. for more info go here
