Illinois Craft Beer Week.
A Celebration Two Years in the Making.

Illinois Craft Beer Week kicks off May 13-20 with a powerhouse lineup of in-person events and
​hybrid activities to support local breweries and jump start the craft beer season! 

From our new twist on Beer Under Glass to our first-ever Keep the Glass Fundraiser,
we’re celebrating the of breweries from Chicago to Downstate and honoring everyone who brews Illinois beer,
drinks Illinois beer, and supports Illinois beer! 

​Whether you’re in Chicago or Champaign (or anywhere in between), there’s an #ICBW event for you.

FRIDAY, MAY 13 | BEER UNDER GLASS
Kick off Illinois Craft Beer Week with our signature event, Beer Under Glass. This year, we’re adding a new twist to our classic event, hosting BUG where the City of Chicago meets the State of Illinois: under the glass at Chicago Union Station.

SATURDAY, MAY 14 | PATIO PARTIES
Illinois Craft Beer Week means spring, and spring means taproom patios are OPEN. This week, post a pic with your Illinois beer on a brewery’s patio, and tag at @ilcraftbeer on Instagram for a chance to be featured on our stories!​

SUNDAY, MAY 15 | SMALL BREWERY SUNDAY
This Sunday, we’re challenging all beer lovers to skip the grocery store and stock the fridge with a craft beer run to a small brewery in your community. Supporting local breweries means supporting jobs and economic growth in your neighborhood! ​

MONDAY, MAY 16 | PASSPORT KICKOFF
The race is on to get to your local brewery, pick up your Summer Passport frames, and start posting with #ILSummerPassport. More information

TUESDAY, MAY 17 | KEEP THE GLASS FUNDRAISER
For once, you get to drink the beer AND keep the glass. Support your local brewery and the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild by purchasing a limited-edition, 16-ounce pint glass designed especially for Illinois craft beer drinkers. Available for a limited time only at participating breweries.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 18 | PAY IT FORWARD
This week, buy a beer for a friend, leave an extra tip for your beertender, or post a positive review for your favorite brewery. Pay it forward for all the folks in hospitality who helped us get through the last two years. 

THURSDAY, MAY 19 | DAY OF ACTION
Help Illinois breweries win the right to ship their craft beer product directly to consumers, just like Illinois wineries do. Direct-to-consumer shipping represents a huge opportunity for small and independent breweries to share their beer with consumers all over the country. Today, we ask all Illinois craft beer fans to send an email to their legislators asking them to support direct-to-consumer shipping! 

FRIDAY, MAY 20 | IMBIBE
