Thanks to all of our loyal customers and tenants who attended Workspring’s inaugural Guest Appreciation Party last week!

As an amenity to Chicago’s Inland Steel Building, the tenants here are much more than just our customers. It was wonderful to see you, meet your guests, and join you in pairing craft beer and small bites. I also enjoyed hearing about your summer plans and goals for the rest of the year. The event was lots of fun and just what we’d hoped for: a moment to break from work and celebrate your accomplishments.

Which beer and food pairing was your favorite? My favorite was the Two Brothers Bitter End IPA – it was a pleasant surprise and one I will now seek out – paired with the Cajun shrimp.

Thank you to the wonderful companies and people who made the event great:

Lauren Aardema at Jewel Events Catering: Jewel is always wonderful to work with, and I want to thank them for creating delicious bites to accompany our beer selections. As one of our preferred caterers, they rock!

Jewel Events Catering bartender and servers: they were both professional and personable.

Our photographer Matthew Bowie, who provided professional headshots. He is easy to work with, and gets extra points for dealing with my attempts at humor the whole time he was trying to get a good picture!

The Workspring marketing team– specifically Danielle, Elizabeth and Lisa – for hosting another great event. It is a pleasure to work with you every day.

Every attendee! Meeting you and your guests, and sharing stories with one another was the highlight of my night.
