Northwest Side Craft Beer Ride

The third annual Northwest Side Craft Beer Ride pairs up northwest side bars with Chicago breweries, connecting them through a “craft beer transit system”—a much better way to ride than the CTA! Four buses, provided by Chicago Brews Cruise & Chicago Brew Bus, will be shuttling enthusiasts from place to place. The Craft Beer Ride is a great way to get to know new places and try new local brews. Participants can start anywhere and end anywhere, since buses will be constantly rotating along the route. The $20 ticket covers transportation for the evening at the beer is sold separately at each bar.

Participating bars & breweries include Fischman’s + Pipeworks Brewing, Hops and Barleys + Brickstone Brewery, Rabbit’s Bar & Grill + Alarmist Brewing, Lake Effect Brewing Company (offering tours and tastings via Phoenix Bar), Sidekicks + Pollyanna Brewing (with karaoke!), Templestowe Pub + Rude Hippo Brewing and Middle Brow Beer (with a food truck), Christina’s Place + Finch’s Beer Company, Breakroom Brewery, Montrose Saloon + Bucket List Brewing & Blue Nose Brewery and Community Tavern + Ale Syndicate (including a special menu with beer pairings).

$20, bus tickets available here. All food and beer sold separately at each location.
