If there’s ever been a more urgent time to clone yourself, it’s now. With summer on the horizon in Chicago (despite the weekend snow storm), there’s LOTS coming up on the beer front. Illinois Craft Beer Week kicks off with Beer Under Glass (BUG) May 10, but there’s also plenty to celebrate before then, and why wait? It’s already a big weekend for Star Wars and taco fans, but there’s three important beer events coming up this Saturday, May 4.

Chicago Beer Classic – May 4

Here’s your reason to drink on the field at Soldier Field. Tickets are still available for this year’s Chicago Beer Classic. There are two sessions available with general admission and VIP ticket options. With over seventy five breweries, both local to Chicago and elsewhere, you wont want to miss it.

Off Color Turns Six! – May 4

(Read: 10th Annual Illinois Craft Beer Week Kicks Off)

In honor of Off Color‘s six year anniversary, they are releasing two new beers at the Mousetrap. Polar S’moretex, which is a boozier Dino S’mores, which just so happened to be brewed on the coldest day in Chicago history. Chicxulub, a Mexican hot chocolate inspired Russian Imperial Stout, will also be released. Both beers will be available in limited release that can be enjoyed at the Mousetrap, or taken to-go. Besides the special releases, Off Color will tap some of their favorite beers from the past year along with guest taps from some of the staff’s favorite breweries.
