Family, friends, and community members gathered Friday at Chase’s Wine Bar and Beer in La Verne for “Cocktails for a Cause,” an event to raise money and awareness for multiple system atrophy research.

Last Saturday, Chase’s Wine Bar and Beer hosted a beer-tasting event featuring the local Dale Bros. Brewery, which is based in Upland.

The new hot spot in town, Chase’s, has been getting plenty of business from the University community with its fancy water walls, fire pits and happy hour specials.
