Okay, maybe don\u2019t chug; it\u2019s not that kind of party. But you\u2019re more than welcome to sample as many beers as you can over the course of the weekend. From July 20 – 21 in Lakeview, Special Events Management is hosting the Chicago Craft Beer and Pizza Festival, which brings together more than 35 local and national brewers to crack open a cold one with a piece of pizza.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s true that festivals can be overwhelming, so our favorite part about the <\/span>Chicago Craft Beer and Pizza Festival<\/span><\/a> is that it\u2019s exactly what it sounds like. You go, you drink beer, you eat pizza, you listen to music. There\u2019s really nothing else to it, and it sounds pretty damn stress-free to me! <\/span><\/p>\n

General admission is just $40 and\u00a0<\/span>includes (20) 2-oz tasting tickets for you to sample any of the over 70 specialty brews available. With over 35-plus local and national breweries in attendance, you’ll explore many of Chicago’s eclectic beers and then some. <\/span>It also means there are going to be a lot of drunk people there. A lot.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the list of breweries may change leading up to the festival, you can expect Virtue Cider, Moody Tongue, Goose Island, 3 Floyds, Right Bee Cider, Hopewell, Revolution, and Chicago’s newest taproom, Twisted Hippo<\/a>, to make an appearance. Pizza vendors include Bacci, Fernando’s Tequila Bar & Restaurant, Gusi’s, and Paulina Market.<\/p>\n

Join the hopped-up fun by purchasing tickets <\/span>to the Chicago Craft Beer and Pizza Festival<\/a>. It’s time to<\/span> get excited for the live entertainment, tented tasting areas, and even your own souvenir tasting glass! I know that\u2019s what you\u2019re most excited about.<\/span><\/p>\n
