Accessibility and Additional Event Details
Wear What you Want
This is OOFD and this is a brewery. Nothing fancy needed though feel free to look as good as you'd like. We will have access to the patio so if you foresee yourself wanting to hang outside, certainly plan for the weather.
COVID/Illnesses
Masks will not be required but if you prefer to wear one, you certainly are welcome to and will not be judged by anyone in OOFD if you do. If you are feeling ill the day of the event or if you have had COVID and still are within the infectious period, please do stay home.
ADA Accessibility
Midwest Coast is wheelchair accessible and can reasonably accommodate most to all disabilities.
Noise and Crowd
The event likely will be at capacity (140 people) so you can expect a big crowd. There will be background music so noise levels will be fairly high. Out Our Front Door has rented the entire taproom space (1st floor) and will have access to the outside patio as well.
Bathrooms
Midwest Coast provides two gender specific, male and female, bathrooms.
Food and Allergies
We will have meat chili and vegan chili options. We will have standard pasta as well as gluten free pasta. We also likely will have deserts including some vegan and gluten free options. That said, all of the food will be made in home kitchens by our volunteers who will do their very best to keep gluten and vegan items separate though people with severe gluten allergies should consider this in case before eating the food.
Kids
Kids of all ages are welcome and there will be some activities for the kids during the event.
Pets
Midwest Coast Brewing does welcome pets.
Getting to the Event
We will have additional bike parking so biking is certainly encouraged! That said, the brewery is only a couple blocks from the Damen bus route. The Metra Western Ave Stop (MD-N, MD-W, NCS) is less than a mile away and the Ashland Green Line stop is less than a mile away as well.
There also is street parking near the venue which is in a mainly former industrial area.
There is a Divvy Bike Share station 2 blocks away on Damen and Walnut.
Being Welcoming and Radically Inclusive
Welcoming is OOFD's #1 Core Value. So by attending this event, we ask that you bring a spirit of welcoming to everyone you meet. We want everyone that comes to be and feel supported and included. You can read more about our Radical Inclusivity and Discrimination Statement which we work to hold everyone accountable to at all of our events.
Other Needs?
Do you have other questions about accommodations or have a request for one? Please contact us here and we will try our hardest to make as many accommodations as we can with things that are within our control. Thanks in advance for the input.
