Show man's bff how much you appreciate them by drinking beer. Sounds about right. Saturday, February 15, Twisted Spoke raises a pint glass to dogs with a Wicker Park Dog Park fundraiser. Hosted in conjunction with Goose Island, the event features a donated keg of Goose and a silent auction with all proceeds going towards the Wicker Park Dog Park. The event runs from 7:00 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. and is free to attend. Woof.
