Destihl Brewery

The long weekend has more than turkey in store for folks clamming to get out there.

The theme for this year's Labor Day parade is “Prevailing Wage is a Family Wage.”

Craft beer is all about the flavor. Even after small brewers have found a niche, they keep experimenting, running test batches, and sometimes finding the next big thing their customers like. It's not so easy, though, to predict the next big thing.

In the last 15 years, McLean County has gone from one craft brewery to eight, and another just over the county line in Fairbury. There are six in Bloomington-Normal alone. At some point, craft brewers will start competing and there won't be room for more — but not yet.

Destihl’s TourBus Concert Series continues Saturday with the Twin City debut of Nashville singer-songwriter Phoebe Hunt. Hunt tracks her journey from classical violinist to mystical indie folk band leader.

Central Illinois mainstay Edward David Anderson will play a solo set in Destihl’s Barrel Room on Saturday, Jan. 14. That’s not unusual, but there’s a lot that makes the evening unique: Anderson kicks off a four-part series curated by his company, Black Dirt Music, and introducing three Americana heavy hitters to Bloomington-Normal. Plus, there's a new brew exclusively for concertgoers.

Bloomington-Normal's largest brewery has won a gold medal at this year's Great American Beer Festival. The award for Destihl comes as brewing continues to boom nationwide.
