Description
Ravinia Brewing Company is rebranding to Steep Ravine Brewing Company, the name of its flagship craft brew.
“When we launched Ravinia Brewing 10 years ago, our mission was built on three pillars: community, craft, and creation,” says Kris Walker, Co-Founder and Managing Partner. “As we transition to Steep Ravine Brewing Company, we’re embracing the connection between beer and storytelling. Sharing a beer has always been about creating meaningful experiences, and this next chapter allows us to honor that tradition. Your story. Our beer. We’re excited to share what’s ahead with our community and fans.”
