September 16 almost offers more craft beer parties to Chicago-area residents than most days during Chicago Craft Beer Week. Rather than flood my Facebook Fan Page with endless amounts of links, I felt it would be easier to provide a collection of links. I can’t list them all, but this is a big sample of some of the major events — many of which are Oktoberfest-style celebrations, while many others are unique fests. Prost! Cheers!
Beers from 15+ brewers & appetizers will be taking over our entire Blvd. Throughout the event our theater screens will feature “Beer themed entertainment” for our guests to roam in and out of with their #beer or #ciders, included in the ticket price. At 2PM, enjoy the instant-classic drinking film, Beerfestest on the big screen.
