Beer Under Glass craft beer event returns to Chicago’s Garfield Park Aug. 27

The Illinois Craft Brewers Guild, the nonprofit trade association representing nearly 300 craft breweries in Illinois, has announced its annual Beer Under Glass (BUG) festival and fundraiser will return to Garfield Park Conservatory on Friday, Aug. 27.

Now in its 11th year, this one-of-a-kind festival pairs local craft beer with one of the city’s most exceptional venues for a celebration of the unique connection between nature and craft beer. All proceeds benefit Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance and the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild.

This year, samples from approximately 70 Illinois breweries will be available during two limited tasting sessions, each with 1,000 attendees to promote social distancing and a more intimate festival experience. Food and beverages from local restaurants and food trucks will be available for purchase. All breweries will be positioned in the outdoor gardens, but the Conservatory’s indoor collections will be open for self-guided tours.

General admission tickets are $75 and will be available beginning on Friday, July 23. There is no VIP ticket or early entry this year, and the festival will continue rain or shine.

Session 1 is from 3-6 p.m. and Session 2 is from 7-10 p.m. on Aug. 27. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit Illinoisbeer.org/bug
