Last year’s Goose Island Sunday Funday was one of our favorite events of Chicago Craft Beer Week. This year’s third annual installment promises to be even better.
These days, enjoying craft beer in a can is pretty common. And let’s be honest, there are plenty of benefits: The beer is protected from light to avoid becoming light-struck or “skunked” as it’s often referred to. A can is a bit easier to pack and take with you on-the-go, be it on a hike or picnic. Cans also have a larger surface area for artwork and branding so a brewery can have more liberties with the design.
Just in time for warm weather comes the latest offering from SweetWater Brewing’s “Catch and Release” series: Goin’ Coastal IPA laced with pineapple.
It’s no wonder why Chicago—with the fourth largest Mexican population in the United States—goes crazy for Cinco de Mayo. Neighborhoods like Pilsen and Little Village have long been hubs for Mexican food, culture, and history in Chicago. Today we’re down at 5 Rabanitos Restaurante & Taqueriato in Pilsen to pair five different beers alongside some traditional Mexican dishes. Use the BEER FINDER to locate these beers near you and impress your friends with some beer pairing tips this Cinco de Mayo.
We had a blast welcoming Brewery Ommegang’s latest Game of Thrones-inspired collaboration beer, Seven Kingdoms Hoppy Wheat Ale to Chicago last week at Emporium Wicker Park. We rocked out to the wildly entertaining Dread Crew of Oddwood, played some arcade games, and marveled at the creative cosplay contest hosted by the one-and-only Geek Girl Chicago.
