LOGAN SQUARE — For the second year in a row, Oregon-based Deschutes Brewery will bring its pop-up pub to Logan Square this weekend. 

Featuring a 400-foot custom bar and live music, the Deschutes Street Pub will take over a stretch of Milwaukee Avenue at Kedzie Avenue from 2-10 p.m. Saturday. 

The pop-up bar will includes more than 60 taps of Deschutes beer and brews from Revolution Brewing, BuckleDown Brewing and Hopewell Brewing. 

The event will feature live music from Chicago Afrobeat Project, Swift Technique, Bailiff and Railway Gamblers and food from a Deschutes chef, Charlie Eure of Revolution Brewing and Nate Sears of The Radler.

Deschutes will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the fundraiser to the Alliance for the Great Lakes and Logan Square Preservation.

Last year, the brewery brought its Street Pub event to seven cities, including Logan Square, and served nearly 900 kegs of beer while raising close to $400,000 for local charities.

Logan Square Preservation is seeking volunteers to staff the event. The group is hoping to use its portion of the money raised to re-plant areas of the boulevard where the emerald ash borer will result in a loss of trees this year.

Volunteers can sign up online.
