May 10 – 17 @ Literally All of Illinois<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Previously known as Chicago Craft Beer Week, this beer fest is one dedicated in its entirety to what Illinois does best: drink beer.<\/p>\n

Okay, okay \u2013 so that might not actually be what our state is known for, but I digress. Illinois Craft Beer Week is a beer festival that features hundreds of breweries, bars, and restaurants putting on a weeklong series of events and fundraisers you’re just gonna have to check out.<\/p>\n

Some of our favorite’s include: Beer Under Glass<\/a>, a tasting of Illinois brews housed in the Garfield Park Conservatory and the Good Libations Beer Fest<\/a>, which will showcase tropically inspired drafts from over 60 brewers.<\/p>\n

TBD @ Delilah’s in Lincoln Park<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Lincoln Park whiskey favorite \u2013 and the overall king of chill Chicago vibes \u2013 Delilah’s is bringing back their annual sour beer fest for another round of fermented and Lambic brews. Paying homage to any and all sour beers they can find, mostly Belgian in origin, this beer festival is truly one for the brightest of Chicago beer connoisseurs.<\/p>\n
