Grand Re-Launch Party Celebrates Next Chapter Of Highland Park Brewery

HIGHLAND PARK, IL — Steep Ravine Brewing Company, formerly Ravinia Brewing, is celebrating its re-branding with an upcoming party weekend, offering the community new beer releases, live music and family fun.

Throughout the weekend of April 3 to 6, guests can sample new beers, new menu items and take in the new branding and refreshed taproom. The celebration will take place at the Highland Park taproom at 582 Roger Williams Ave.

“We’ve been building toward this moment for a long time,” said Kris Walker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “This launch party is more than a rebrand—it’s a celebration of the people, stories, and community that have made this brewery special for over a decade. We can’t wait to share the new space and the exciting things we’ve been working on.”

Highlights for the weekend include:

• A Steep Ravine Brewing Company Mug Club kick off on Thursday;
• A ribbon cutting ceremony and live music as well as happy hour and appetizer specials on Friday;
• Live music as well as beer and menu tastings on Saturday;
• A family-friendly celebration with brunch and activities for kids on Sunday.

Though the name is changing, much of the things the community has come to know and love about the brewery will remain the same. The award-winning lineup of beers and iconic "Tree Guy" mascot still lead the way, officials said.

“Highland Park has always been our home,” said Jeff Hoobler, Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “This launch party is our way of saying thank you and showing what’s ahead. The new name, and live music in combination with great beers and food —it’s all built on the same passion and people that have made this brewery a staple of the North Shore and Highland Park communities.”
