July 20, 2020 Heavy Hops Ep. 003: Music In And Out Of Venues (Empty Bottle & Thalia Hall)
Chicago is one of the few cities in the United States with a thriving independent music venue circuit not dominated by Live Nation or AEG. We are joined by Molly Mobley (Talent Buyer – Empty Bottle) and Brent Heyl (Talent Buyer Thalia Hall, Empty Bottle; Partner Empty Bottle Presents) to discuss the value and importance of independent music venues and how they are adopting in light of challenges presented by COVID 19. We also discuss our favorite music events at these venues and what makes these spaces unique and reflective of Chicago.

Pipeworks Brewing Co. is an institution in the Chicago beer scene. Having developed a rich catalog of beers since forming in 2012, they’ve expanded their reach beyond the city and are doing so on their own terms. Creative Director and Head of Product Development Kate Brankin guides us through origins of the brewery, how they have adapted their beers over time while the brewery has grown and palates around them have changed. We may even learn of the long fabled origins of the battle between Ninja and Unicorn.
