Flurry Artisan Market Back At Tinley Park Brewery July 14

TINLEY PARK, IL — Fan favorite Flurry Artisan Market is set to return to Hailstorm Brewing in Tinley Park on July 14, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The event, curated by the Streetz Artz Alliance, promises a fresh mix of artists alongside beloved favorites. The market will be held rain or shine, both indoors and outdoors, showcasing over 40 talented artisans.

"I feel like Hailstorm has been getting better and better every time we host a show here," said John E. Streetz, head of the Streetz Artz Alliance. "Maybe it's the unique mix of artists at every show, the delicious craft beverages available from the brewery, or the amazing sandwiches and wings from Scratch Kitchen. Whatever it is, I hope the local patrons come out for this one again and bring all of their friends this time!"

The Flurry Artisan Market, held at Hailstorm at 8060 186th St., will feature 41 artists, including 15 who are new to this venue. Attendees can explore an array of original items, perfect for gift-giving or personal enjoyment.

"With over 35% of the artists being brand new to this venue, I am confident the patrons will be excited to see new items, brand new art, and original one-of-a-kind pieces," Streetz said.

The Streetz Artz Alliance, consisting of 350 artists and crafters from across the Chicago suburbs, NW Indiana, and southern Wisconsin, is dedicated to promoting local artists and fostering community engagement through art-centric events.

Recently tapped at the brewery is the Strawberry Summer, a refreshing strawberry lemon Kolsch with a hint of lemon. This 5.2% ABV beverage is available on draft or in 4-packs to go. Additionally, Hailstorm Brewing has upgraded their beer slushie machine, now offering two summer flavors: Raspberry Peach Beer-lini, a frozen sour ale inspired by a bellini (4.7% ABV), and Orange Cream-cicle, a frozen sour ale with orange and vanilla (4.7% ABV). The Scratch Made Kitchen's seasonal menu includes favorites like the Cubano sandwich, Pretzel Sticks, and CB Smoked Chicken Wings. For a current listing of food items, visit their website.
