Hi guys. Some of you might know that we have had liquid dreams about opening our own brewery here in Bridgeport. We are now on our way. Marz Community Brewing is a close–knit group of creatives, brewers, artists, doers, makers and friends. We all met at Maria's and we’re launching this brewery to bring something new to Chicago and beer. We hope to blow yer minds.

Besides making amazing liquid, Marz Community Brewing will be brewing and selling beers ( Community Brews) to help fund artist organizations, non profit groups and community activists in Chicago. We are also starting a Brewers Exchange program, offering residencies and collaborations with brewers overseas. MCB will also be sending American brewers to our partner brewery in The Netherlands and they will be sending brewers here to collaborate with local brewers in Chicago. We have other plans and surprises in store. And we will unveil them when we open some time later this year.

We really have no idea when our final paperwork will be approved, but we are in R & D mode and wigging out. In the meantime do us a favor: be part of the tasting team!

If you have a minute please visit our website and sign up to our newsletter. Please "Like" us on Spacebook , too! And while yer at it become our twitter friend. You will be the first people invited to our private tastings and events before we open to the public.

June 14 - 22, 2013 • Version 13: An Urban Operating System

For the past 12 years Version Festival has introduced innovative projects that tackle local social and urban issues. The festival highlights projects and people that engage public interest and promote the cultural use of public space.

This year Version will focus on beta testing a collectively produced open source operating system for our urban environment. We call it an Urban OS. It's not just technology based, It's a human network. We will present works and projects that serve the common good and connect us to services that everyone can use in our neighborhoods and cities. This collection of real world software can help us manage the hardware of our urban environment and create more applications for renewing our public space.

Version Festival 13 will present projects by cultural workers, community developers, social entrepreneurs, artists, designers, boutique manufacturers, food interventionists, public space hackers, service mediaticians, urban planners, cultural geographers and adventure capitalists, to share their ideas to develop a collective hack of the current urban operating system.

This June 14 through June 22 2013, we're inviting you to demonstrate your skills, share your ideas and your visions to build a better city. We will be utilizing public and private spaces in Bridgeport to demo a version of an Urban Operating System. Highlights include a new outdoor mini festival called Above the Pavement: The City Fair, and events that promote the social engagement of our communities. The Urban OS will continue throughout the year with a series of projects and platforms that will be networked to our local communities. for more information visit Versionfest.org
