I\u2019m a huge craft beer fan, with over 200 unique brews on the Untappd app (a must for craft beer lovers), and I personally plan on taking advantage of all the craft brew events in my area when I\u2019m not writing these (somewhat) moving posts for you.<\/p>\n<p>To make it easy for you, here are a few categories breaking down what you need to know about Craft Beer Week:<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is it Exactly?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Basically, Chicago Craft Beer Week is a celebration of lesser-known craft breweries, which Chicago has plenty of. The goal of the event is to attract fans to explore the profoundness and scale of local craft beer and honor those who enhance the community. There are over 300 venues that are participating this year, with plenty of specials and $4 tastings of rare beers to go around.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When is it?<br \/>\n<\/strong>It\u2019s called Chicago Craft Beer <em>Week<\/em>, but it\u2019s actually longer than a week. The event kicks off with the \u201cBeer Under Glass\u201d event at Garfield Park Conservatory on May 14<sup>th<\/sup> and goes until May 24<sup>th<\/sup>, ending with a closing party at Welles Park.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Beers Can I Try?<br \/>\n<\/strong>I can\u2019t give you an exact answer on this subject, but I will say the better question would be, \u201cWhat beers can\u2019t you try?\u201d With the hundreds of venues offering multiple types of beer, I don\u2019t think anyone knows the true amount. With that being said, some of the sponsors are Goose Island, Lagunitas, Revolution, and All Rise\u2014so you should be able to find their beers at some of the venues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is There a Schedule?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Of course there is. I\u2019d type it all out for you, but to spare those who don\u2019t want to see it, I\u2019ll just link it <a href=\"http:\/\/chibeerweek.com\/schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How About an Interactive Map?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Your wish, my command. <a href=\"http:\/\/chibeerweek.com\/maps\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here<\/a> it is.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Additional Info<br \/>\n<\/strong>You can send photos to Instagram with the #CCBW hastag for a chance to win prizes each day of the event. There\u2019s also an official CCBW app for iOS and Android. The app provides you with the full event calendar and lets you bookmark the events you want to attend.
