On Saturday June 13 the Neighbors of West Loop Craft Beer Festival will take place on Clinton St. in front of Chicago French Market, located at 131 N. Clinton St., between the hours of noon and 5pm.
More than 40 breweries will pour craft beer samples at tents spread within a 40,000 square foot space between Lake St. and Washington Blvd. Randolph St. will be closed down during the festival operating hours.
New Belgium Brewing will participate as a Golden Brewer Sponsor, committing to bring fun and interactive experiences, along with an expanded beer list, including staples from their Lips of Faith Series. Chicago’s own Revolution Brewing will participate as a Silver Brewer Sponsor, hosting a tent on Clinton St. with an expanded beer list.
General Admission tickets for the festival cost $50 and include 20 tastings between 1pm and 5pm. In addition to Chicago French Market food vendors, Kaiser Tiger will serve some of their carnivorous offerings as well, as the festival looks to annually incorporate more businesses from the culinary neighborhoods within the West Loop. GA tickets, if available, will cost $65 at the festival check-in.
VIP tickets for the festival cost $80 and include early entry at noon, 25 tastings and food tickets valued at $10 to use towards food purchase. In addition, VIP ticket holders will gain access to a VIP area that will include specialty pours from participating craft breweries and wine samples from the West Loop’s City Winery. On top of that, VIPs will be treated to a Bloody Mary to start the festival off in the CH Distillery tasting room, located at 550 W. Randolph St., on the west end of the festival footprint, where check-in will be located.
