In a city where each neighborhood is marked with a distinguishable aura, one might find it hard to resist the vibrant, close-knit neighborhood of Ravenswood<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Known as \u201cChicago\u2019s most diverse beer destination,\u201d Malt Row on Damen<\/a> returns for its 2nd annual, celebrating the local breweries<\/a> and distilleries within Ravenswood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMalt Row on Damen is a smaller, more concentrated community event so people can really get to know our local businesses,\u201d Gene Wagendrof III, Associate Director of the Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce, said. \u201cIt\u2019s a great way to enjoy a mid-week evening with friends after work. Grab a beer, walk around exploring Damen Avenue, Malt Row, and finish the night listening to live music at the farmers market.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
