Your favorite sovereigns of sweethearts, Mackenzie Rigby, the Gin Savant Beatrix Von Hopper, and the Gentlewoman Giles Henry are back to co-host the 9th year of Chicago’s longest running immersive story. Mr. Rigby’s annual celebration has found a new home at Pfeltenhopps Brewery, teaming up with Stanley and Olive T. Puppet to co-host this year’s Lonely Hearts…or is it Lonely Hops? Our Rigby’s regulars are in for a brewed awakening when this felt-forward event unexpectedly turns lager than life. What happens when one pour decision changes the course of the entire batch?
Pull up a stool and join us for a delightful evening, bringing friends and strangers together for intimate explorations of love, relationships, and what’s on tap.
