Come out to Enlightened Brewery & Twisted Path Distillery in Bay View for the first stop of 2018. We’re peeling back the curtain and showing you how Lake Effect is made. The event will feature Chef AJ Dixon from Lazy Susan in Bayview, beer expert Kathy Flanigan, historian Ron Winkle, local poet Jenny Benjamin, and singer-songwriter Willy Porter (who wrote the Lake Effect theme music). Doors open at 6:30 and there will be a free, attendee-only distillery tour after the show.
