Friends, fellow brewers, and restaurant and bar owners come together to help Skeleton Key Brewery after Sunday s tornado. (Emily Slayton)
WOODRIDGE, IL After a tornado damaged Skeleton Key Brewery in Woodridge Sunday, regular customers and members of the local brewing community banded together by donating their space, time and funds to help the beloved brewery. In the days immediately following the tornado, local brewers and bar and taproom owners bought out Skeleton Key Brewery s remaining beer, stored their raw materials, scheduled fundraisers, shared their facilities and offered food, hugs and moral support.
Emily Slayton, who co-owns Skeleton Key Brewery with her husband, Paul and brother, John Szopa, told Patch it s hard to put into words how grateful we are for the support we ve received since their world was turned upside down by Sunday s tornado.

Valentine s Day without chocolate is like Thanksgiving without turkey.
That bit about chocolate is especially true when it comes to Valentine s Day-inspired cocktails on the menu this weekend at suburban bars and restaurants. It comes as no surprise to Ursula Borodzinska, owner of Elgin s Martini Room, who says all varieties of chocolate white, dark and spiced will likely dominate holiday cocktail recipes.
