Northwest Side Craft Beer Ride

Northwest Side Craft Beer Ride Come celebrate craft beer week on the Northwest Side on Thursday, May 23rd by attending the 1st annual craft beer pub crawl. 8 local breweries will be featured at 8 unique bars all connected by a regular bus loop to ensure comfort and safety. Participants will ride around in comfort on board a Chitown Party Bus as they are shuttled from bar to bar. Brewery staff will welcome the pub crawlers at each of the featured bars and will be on hand to talk up the beer, share a few, and hang out.

Simply show up to one of the featured bars and when the bus arrives get on. Keep your ticket handy because you will need to show it at the bus in order to get your wristband and pint glass. At the end of the pub crawl, there will be an announcement for the last bus. The featured bars and addresses are below.
