Want to get a drink with SUE the T-Rex? How ’bout the world’s largest dinosaur, Máximo the Titanosaur? Experience the Field Museum like you never have before at the Chicago Beer Festival. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend the night at the museum tasting some of your favorite local and domestic breweries and being able to sample their spring seasonal beers.
The event takes place on March 14, with general admission opening from 8 pm – 11 pm, with VIP ticket holders enjoying an extra hour of drinking beforehand. In addition, there will be specialty beers that are available only to VIP attendees.
At the event, you’ll be able to enjoy music, food (for purchase), and more! All ticket holders get to try samples from more than 60 breweries, including:
- Destihl Brewery
- Ravinia Brewing Company
- Exit Strategy Brewing Co
- Crystal Lake Brewing
- Smylie
- Noon Whistle Brewing
- Maplewood
- Whiner Beer Co.
- And more!
You’ll have 40 drink tickets, so you’ll be able to choose your favorites and drink your fill! You can go back to the same brewery as many times as you want, or you can try as many breweries as possible. Plus, you will have access to a select number of exhibits at the museum that you can explore while having a few drinks.
If you love breweries, this beer festival stands out from the standard event. While you do get to sample different kinds of beers, you get to do it at the Field Museum! Drinking around the dinosaurs makes this festival unique compared to others, so if you are a serial beer festival attendee, make sure this one is on your list.
No infants or children are allowed, and you must be at least 21 or over to attend. Tickets range in price from $50 – $65. You will not be able to purchase tickets beforehand, so make sure to get your tickets before they sell out! There will be no designated driver tickets for this event.
