Friends of the Craft

Enjoy a great night with friends, local craft beer enthusiasts, and experts. Our 5th annual Friends of the Craft event showcases unique brews from Chicago North-side brewers and brew pubs.

To date we have signed on 17 breweries and cider houses for the Friday craft session.  This list is growing daily.  

Expect to be entertained by the acoustic sounds of Ryan Karey with Seed while enjoying over 40 tasting options.  Bobbie's Q will be onsite serving pulled pork and slaw.  For $5 a plate, try it with the delicious bbq sauce made from Blake's Hard Cider 'El Chavo' adding a heated blend of habanero pepper, mango and famous Blake’s farm apples.  

​

We would love for you to join us for both the FOTC and Friends of the Grape (FOTG) events; buy a Weekend pass to both events now!
