Illinois Brewing

Come join Illinois Brewing at the first Park Ridge Market after Dark of the season this Saturday, May 30, from 4:30-9:30 p.m. in the Park Ridge Farmers Market lot (15 Prairie Ave.). Illinois Brewing magazine could not be more excited to be part of the planning committee, as these events have been a big hit the last two years benefiting the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce

Featuring a variety of food and art vendors, mixed with small-business pop-ups, live music and a handpicked rotation of local guest breweries, wineries and distilleries, this event is the type of summer street party everyone can enjoy. Sample craft beers from the likes of Maplewood Brewery & Distillery, Mikerphone Brewing, Black Horizon Brewing Company, Old Irving Brewing Co., Une Année Brewery, 93 Octane Brewery Elmhurst, Church Street Brewing Company, Eris Brewery and Cider House, Haymarket Pub & Brewery, Revolution Brewing, Roaring Table and Printer's Row.

The Sunday afternoon and evening weather look perfect, so come join Beer on the Wall - Park Ridge and Harp & Fiddle and enjoy 100 craft beers, live music, food trucks and a kids zone from 12-9 p.m. at the Park Ridge Farmers Market lot at Main Street and Prairie Ave.

Lunch at The Perch in Chicago's Wicker Park is never a bad idea. On the draft list, check out their Anchor Down, a toasty, caramel-touched California Common brewed in collaboration with C.H.A.O.S. Brew Club
