Here are a few neighborhood microbreweries you may find on tap and enjoy on National Beer Day at select suburban restaurant locations:

Lou Malnati’s Lincolnwood

Alarmist Brewing – Pantsless Pale Ale

• A low bitterness American style Pale Ale with loads of American and New Zealand hops for huge aroma and flavor. A blend of Mosaic and Motueka hops create lively aromas of lemon, grapefruit, and dank pine.

Lou Malnati’s Buffalo Grove

Prairie Krafts Brewing – Grove Amber Ale

• Ruby red with light brown foam. Biscuit, caramel, black currant, blueberry with some tropical notes.  Gently sweet, subtle bitter linger.  Medium body with a light carbonation.

Lou Malnati’s Naperville

Solemn Oath Brewing – Snaggletooth Bandana American IPA

• Massive grapefruit, pineapple, and super-ripe mango aromatics burst out of this medium-bodied IPA. Assertive bitterness is balanced by a subtle malt sweetness and more citrusy fun.

In 1971, Lou and Jean Malnati hosted their first benefit raising money for a scholarship fund in memory of their friend, legendary Chicago Bears running back, Brian Piccolo. After Lou also fell victim to cancer in 1978, the Malnati family dedicated themselves to funding cancer research and treatment programs, and created the Lou Malnati Cancer Research Foundation.

Today, after a transformational donation to the Northwestern Brain Tumor Institute, the Lou Malnati Cancer Research Foundation is proud to introduce the newly renamed Northwestern Medicine Lou and Jean Malnati Brain Tumor Institute.

By making this contribution, our goal is to help the Northwestern Medicine Lou and Jean Malnati Brain Tumor Institute attract and retain even more world class talent, who have the capability to both create breakthroughs in battling brain tumors and advance patient care in the neuroscience field. We believe that our “dream team” will become one of the top three brain tumor institutes in the country.

This gift also honors the heartfelt giving and tradition of generosity that Lou and Jean established.

Watch Jean accept special recognition for the newly named Northwestern Medicine Lou and Jean Malnati Brain Tumor Institute.
