Sure, most Chicagoans love drinking beer and going to a bar, but have you ever wondered about the history behind what you\u2019re drinking?<\/h2>\n

The founder of The Chicago Brewseum<\/a>, Liz Garibay, and her team did, and they’re making their unique vision a reality.<\/p>\n

That vision is simple: Create a modern, educational museum that focuses on teaching visitors and residents about the history and culture of their favorite drink. The idea includes floor plans, exhibits, and classrooms. The Chicago Brewseum will be in a LEED re-purposed historic building, centrally located in a Chicago neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the details on the floor plan:<\/p>\n

Floor One: The Brewseum Bar<\/u><\/h2>\n

This floor will allow visitors to sample their favorite craft beer and food from around the world. Most of the beers will be made by brewers from around the country, making them just as authentic as they are satisfying.<\/p>\n

Floor Two: Main Gallery<\/u><\/h2>\n

Classrooms, workshops, and home-brew space will occupy this floor. This is the main educational area.<\/p>\n

Floor Three: Two Temporary Galleries<\/u><\/h2>\n
