When Temperance Beer Co. opened their brewery and tap room over a decade ago, we knew we were going to be fast friends. Josh and the incredible folks who graced that building over the years were our kind of folks; anchored by an endless pursuit to make great beer and push Evanston towards being a more fun, welcoming, and engaged town. We quickly found ways to work together and combine music and beer, and in 2017 we all agreed it would be fun to bring a live show to their Tap Room. We booked our friends Rebirth Brass Band to come in from New Orleans and tickets sold out so quickly that we had to rent an outdoor stage and move it to their parking lot. In many ways this was how we started presenting music outdoors and the following summer Out of Space was born.

From 2018-2022 we were lucky to partner with Temperance on Out of Space shows in that same parking lot, and each year started like the year before, with us all sitting down to ask eachother the question “who should we book?”. The brewery’s love of hip-hop and their commitment to reaching all of our Evanston neighbors pushed us to be more adventurous programmers, and over those 4 summers we somehow talked all of these incredible artists into playing a show, in a parking lot off a busy stretch of Dempster, behind a swim school and daycare center. You couldn’t find a more unlikely spot to build a festival, but we couldn’t have been luckier to make some noise and have such fun with the Temperance crew and their unrelenting drive to deliver for our beloved town of Evanston.

We will be stopping by on their final weekend to raise a glass to Temperance’s incredible legacy and their dream of a bigger, brighter, more joyful future for us all.
