— For the third time in less than three years, a brewery is coming to a Northwest Side space. Local beer-maker Twisted Hippo has signed a lease to take over the former Finch Kitchen and Breakroom Brewery space at 2925 W. Montrose Avenue, the Sun-Times reported first, and ownership — who still hasn’t responded to multiple inquiries — hopes to open it sometime this year. Breakroom Brewery closed in May 2016, and Finch Kitchen took over the space soon after but also closed the following December. A fourth brewery — Ravinia Brewing Co. — announced it was taking over the space in May 2017 but apparently that didn’t work out. Will it work out for Twisted Hippo?
