Celebrating Illinois-brewed beer, from taproom to bottle shop. ​

Illinois Craft Beer Week (ICBW) returns May 9-16, 2025 to kick off summer and celebrate our Illinois craft beer community: those who brew Illinois beer, drink Illinois beer, and support Illinois beer!

Kick off Illinois Craft Beer Week under the towering glass of Chicago’s skyline.  ​

The cornerstone festival and fundraiser of Illinois Craft Beer Week, Beer Under Glass convenes more than 80 Illinois breweries for an evening outdoors at the acclaimed Millennium Park Harris Theater Rooftop Terrace in downtown Chicago. 
​
Join us Friday, May 9 for the largest gathering of Illinois craft breweries. Soak in the warm weather, sample from among 200 craft beer pours, and enjoy a night of fun that expertly pairs the sights and sounds of Chicago with the notes and flavors that are unique to Illinois-brewed craft beer. 

General admission and VIP tickets are available March 21.
