Owner Jeff Hoobler was elected to Highland Park’s city council last year (and is running again this year, as we noted in an email last week), and apparently the city has a restriction “that requires the denial of liquorlicenses to ‘any law enforcing public official, or any member of the City Council.’”
Is this an indication of a pivot away from hazy IPAs and pastry stouts? Western Springs doesn’t have a brewery yet, but the town is getting some liquorlicenses ready for whenever someone wants to open one. Or is it just a matter of, they bought the IP at auction, so they’re gonna do something with it?
This is due in large part to a young population eager to rise within the industry, and the state’s notoriously strict liquor laws. Fisher brews more than 100 unique varieties per year, from their flagship pilsner to experimentally hopped IPAs to a classic British mild. They are one of our favorite breweries in the state,” adds Gardner.
