Chicago Craft Beer Week is our favorite week (and a half) of the year.
And how could it not be? It's 10 days of tap takeovers, meet the brewer events, beer dinners, lectures and panels on our favorite subject: craft beer in Chicago. We care about the state of craft beer in our city. It's why we sponsor Chicago Craft Beer Week. It's why we plan and participate in hundreds of beer events between May 14th - 24th. It's why we want you to join us.

BYOBeer Dinners with Lakeshore Beverage
May 19th
Craft beer is about experience. It's about savoring moments and flavors and sharing them with old friends while making new ones. It's also great for getting you out of your comfort zone and into something new. BYOBeer Dinners are beer dinners designed to do that.
We partner with local restaurants throughout the Chicagoland area - some of them Chicago institutions in their own right - to plan custom menus that our beer experts pair with beer from breweries all over the country. From Southern Soul Food to Indonesian Rice Table, these meals will be beer dinners unlike any you've been to before.
Lakeshore Beverage x The Hop Review Presents: Arts & Crafts
A Celebration of Art & Craft Beer
May 21st
Arts & Crafts is an event series in partnership with Chicago beer bloggers, The Hop Review that celebrates art, beer, and the cuture that ties both together. At each event, guests will meet local Chicago artists at the top of their craft and learn about their process while enjoying beer from some of the country's best breweries. CLICK HERE to checkout the first event in the series where we'll learn about Screenprinting from Nate Azark with Brooklyn Brewery.
