Friends, fellow brewers, and restaurant and bar owners come together to help Skeleton Key Brewery after Sunday's tornado. (Emily Slayton)
WOODRIDGE, IL — After a tornado damaged Skeleton Key Brewery in Woodridge Sunday, regular customers and members of the local brewing community banded together by donating their space, time and funds to help the beloved brewery. In the days immediately following the tornado, local brewers and bar and taproom owners bought out Skeleton Key Brewery's remaining beer, stored their raw materials, scheduled fundraisers, shared their facilities and offered food, hugs and moral support.
Emily Slayton, who co-owns Skeleton Key Brewery with her husband, Paul and brother, John Szopa, told Patch it's hard to put into words "how grateful we are for the support we've received" since their world was turned upside down by Sunday's tornado.
