Chicago’s First Craft Beer Fest

The 4th Annual Chicago Craft Beer Week occurs from May 16th to May 26th! This year’s theme is “Chicago: A City of Neighborhoods.”

The goal of Chicago Craft Beer Week is to entice beer patrons to explore the depth and breadth of local craft beer and honor those who enrich our community of beer lovers

with over 300 events.

The fun will culminate with an official closing party that takes place on Saturday, May 25th,with the City of Chicago’s

first ever craft beer festival on the streets of Chicago: West Loop Craft Beer Fest!

The West Loop Craft Beer Fest represents a collaboration between two non-profit organizations:

• The Illinois Craft Brewers’ Guild (ICBG)• The Fulton River District Association (FRDA)

The ICBG supports the craft brewing industry in the state of Illinois and the FRDA supports the residents who live in the

West Loop of Chicago. The FRDA Board has brought together additional community leaders to expand their geographic

footprint to east of Halsted St., including residents all the way to Ashland Ave., to become Neighbors of West Loop.

The event will take place on Clinton St. between Randolph St. and Washington St. outside of the French Market.

The West Loop Craft Beer Fest will host an unprecedented collection of craft breweries on the streets of Chicago for the first time ever.

The Illinois Craft Brewers Guild is a non-profit organization dedicated to unify the Illinois brewing community. We are comprised of brewers, wholesalers, retailers and craft beer enthusiasts focused on promoting Illinois beer, assist in the sales of Illinois-crafted beer within the state, and educate and protect the interests of craft brewers in the State of

Illinois.

The theme of this year’s Chicago Craft Beer Week is “Chicago: A City of Neighborhoods,” so the FRDA and Neighbors of

West Loop proved to be the perfect partners.

The mission of Neighbors of the West Loop is to enhance the quality of life for residents and neighbors of Chicago's greater

West Loop community. As a volunteer membership organization, Neighbors of the West Loop fosters input from our

community to make a better community.
