The Beeronaut

Chicago’s Week in Craft Beer, August 17-20

With a little less news to report since this weekend, here’s a quick recap of what this column is about.

I’m reporting beer tappings, dinners, and related events in brewery tap rooms, brewpubs and beer bars in the Chicago area. For now I’m also throwing in all the beer trucks and trivia events I find, just to encourage people to get out and support their local beer scene.

You’ll often find breaking news on my Facebook page. I usually re-post notices of establishments that have closed temporarily if one of their employees tests out for COVID exposure. Especially in these times, if you to go somewhere, call your destination beforehand. And DO follow the current rules on distancing and masking.
