Dovetail Brewery's New Hand-hammered Copper Taproom Lighting Fixtures Pay Homage to Brewing History

    CHICAGO, IL, November 23, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fans of Dovetail Brewery's popular, dog-friendly taproom (1800 W. Belle Plaine, Chicago; 773-683-1414) are feeling the warm, cozy glow of brewing tradition as they sit beneath new custom-created copper lighting fixtures. Designed and created by Walking Bird USA, a small artisan company based in Collinsville, Oklahoma, the shades of the fixtures were hand hammered from copper, and serve as an homage to the striking copper brewing vessels that have been the mainstay of traditional breweries for centuries. Dovetail's copper vessels are more than 100 years old and from Germany.

"Copper is the soul of the brewery," said Wade Creighton, owner of Walking Bird USA. "We wanted to carry this theme forward as we designed the lighting fixtures for the taproom. They are hand-crafted, one of a kind items that will withstand the test of time. Dovetail exemplifies the same theme by creating amazing hand-crafted beers using methods, materials and ingredients that also have withstood the test of time. We're very proud to be associated with Dovetail Brewery--and we love the beer!"
