Back-to-School Pfiff! ☕️ Inspired by a DePaul class studying “third spaces” -- places outside home & work where we gather and connect. Tomorrow, Ceramic Coffee pop-ups from 10am–2pm. Students: show your school ID for $2 off a coffee drink!

Recently, we got to meet a DePaul class studying “third spaces”-- the places outside of home and work where we gather, hang out, and connect with other people -- and they’re making Dovetail one of their field trips this semester!

Which feels like a pretty good excuse for a special Back-to-School edition of Pfiff! -- when we open the taproom early for coffee pop-ups, remote work, and a little of the Viennese coffeehouse culture that inspired it.

Tomorrow, our friends at Ceramic Coffee Roasters are taking over the coffee side of things from 10am–2pm. Regulars of the Pfiff!, Ceramic is a neighborhood roastery focused on making specialty coffee and coffee education more accessible and inclusive -- which feels pretty right at home in this special conversation we'll have tomorrow about third spaces, community, and the places where we learn from each other.

STUDENTS: Show your school ID and get $2 off a coffee drink from Ceramic. Offer good for this edition of Pfiff only!Bild

Breaking our "No TVs in the taproom" for Belgium vs USA at 7pm. No sound. All day: $1 off draft pours of all of our Belgian-style beers, including our spontaneously-fermented beers made in the Senne Valley Tradition. Proost op onze lever!

June at Dovetail: The World Cup is coming! ⚽️ Join us each Thursday during the tournament (sorry, no TVs at Dovetail — but we’re just a short stroll to the Globe, and a longer walk to AJ Hudson’s), as we explore how people gather around beer in five countries competing in this year’s World Cup

On Wed, March 25 (one day only), we’re opening at 10AM for coffee, pfiffs, and a quiet taproom to get a few things done. ☕🍺 Espresso drinks by Ceramic Coffee Roasters and Double Umlauts on all pfiffs of Core 5 beers until 2pm. What the heck is a pfiff? A .2L pour, common in Austria and Bavaria.

Last week, a few of our neighbors wanted to host a Whistlemania event in Ravenswood and asked if we were able to provide some space to spread out so they could assemble whistle kits for an evening. It’s been one way that Chicagoans have been able to organize to protect their neighbors.
