You probably thought Chicago had enough beer festivals and other such events this summer. You are so so wrong. Craft Brewers Conference, World Beer Cup, AlphaBeer III, and what seemed like a trillion other tasting events. Stone Brewing arriving in Chicago. Beer and Burger Pairings by Hopcast and ManBQue, so many SmallBar Rare Beer Tastings, it's amazing there's rare beer left (there is, promise, we've got bottle stashed all over OMG Beer! Headquarters anyway).
At least two more beer events are on there way.
In less than two weeks, AlphaBeer IV! Tickets will be available through OMG Beer! starting tomorrow. Alphabeer III was the first AlphaBeer we attended, and it was delicious, educational, and one of the more fun ways to experience 26 different beers. No one was hurt in the process.
