Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce

Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce www.ravenswoodchicago.org Originally founded to fight problems of crime and blight, RCC was one of the first urban conservation commissions in Chicago.

While just established in 2015, the Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce is tied to a 57-year history of fostering a vibrant, locally-focused economy in Ravenswood. Built on the foundation of the Ravenswood Community Council’s work within the area’s commercial corridors, the GRCC is guided by the belief that creativity, sustainable living and diverse industry position Ravenswood as a destination neighborhood. Today our services have changed and expanded to meet the needs of our ever-evolving neighborhood, including becoming the designated Chamber of Commerce for the Ravenswood community in 2015. The proud presenter events such as Ravenswood ArtWalk, Taste of Ravenswood, and Ravenswood On Tap, our organization is always looking for exciting and unique ways to engage our local businesses, residents and visitors.

We're continuing celebrating National Manufacturing Month by spotlighting Ross and Elizabeth Fiersten and their business Manifold, a Ravenswood furniture design and fabrication studio that transforms metal into the unexpected.

Step inside their shop and you’ll find a world of industrial equipment, welding helmets, and metalworking in motion. But look a little closer, and you’ll see steel and aluminum shaped into forms that feel almost impossible, turning an industrial workspace into a creative wonderland.

💪 October is Manufacturing Month! So, we'll be highlighting the business that make up Ravenswood's Industrial Corridor.

Let's start off by sidling up to the bar and having a chat with Hagen Dost, co-owner of Dovetail Brewery . 🍻

Is a brewery even a manufacturer? Hagen puts it succinctly: “We buy raw materials and convert them into a finished product.” That "product" is their selection of finely made traditional European-style craft b**rs. Hagen – a former engineer – remarks that the brewery itself is a machine made of smaller machines. “We picked this building to make the kind of b**r we want to make.”

Beyond manufacturing, Hagen and his team see the value in community involvement and leadership and advocacy in an industry that needs critical support at the federal, state, and local levels. That involvement is what we love about Dovetail. That, and the b**r. 🍺

🎉 Then come enjoy their offerings. Dovetail and their neighbor Begyle Brewing are throwing their annual Oktoberfestiversary this weekend (Oct. 10 & 11). Details here: https://www.oktoberfestiversary.com
