Begyle Brewing & Dovetail Brewery To Host Second Annual Mayfestiversary on May 26 & 27

This Memorial Day weekend, the friendly neighborhood breweries, Begyle Brewing and Dovetail Brewery are at it again and are excited to join forces and celebrate spring, the neighborhood, good food, music, and beer during the second annual Mayfestiversary. This Ravenswood block party also marks Dovetail’s second birthday and the third anniversary of Begyle’s taproom

This two-day festival will boast more than a dozen locally brewed beers, varied cuisine from some of the finest food trucks in the city, live music and activities for adults, children, and dogs of all ages! Live music will be held in the center of the festival. In addition to outdoor seating and beer options, both taprooms will be open and serving beer to festival-goers.

Special Beer Releases:

• Dovetail: Maibock: (7.6% ABV) Meant to be celebrated and enjoyed at Mayfestiversary, this beer was brewed in January and then hibernated for 4 1/2 months. Now, it’s time to celebrate and savor this honey-toned beer: pale, light and exuberant.
• Begyle: Boat Shoes: (5% ABV) A Kölsch style with a moderate amount of bitterness and a crisp dry finish, this light, malt-forward Kölsch is made for leisure.
• Begyle: Sunny Afternoon: (5.4 % ABV) An American Pale Ale brewed with a touch of wheat and oats and features the Citra hop. Strong aromatics of tropical fruits, lemon, and grass give want to a juicy, smooth beer with a dry finish. Perfect to sip on a sunny afternoon.
