Chicago Beer Classic
On Saturday, May 7, Soldier Field will open its gates and allow more than 75 breweries to set up and sell brews to fans of both beer and the Bears. Chicago’s biggest beer festival is accompanied by the city’s classic food, paired perfectly with a pint.
Where the Wild Beers Are, Brooklyn, N.Y.
This unique beer festival requires attendees to bring and share a commercially made wild, sour or farmhouse ale. With every 750 milliliters of beer that guests contribute, they receive 10 drink tickets to sample other contributed ales.

Both in-state and out-of-state breweries flock to this festival May 21 to show off their best brews. As it celebrates its 33rd year, the festival donates a portion of its proceeds to the Telegraph Hill Cooperative Nursery School. Representatives from Goose Island, Oskar Blues and Erdinger breweries will be present.
