By Chuck Sudo in Food on Sep 5, 2012 9:20PM

Chicago Artists Month is weeks away but tickets are now available for one of its featured kick-off parties. Mash Tun Oktoberfest at the Bridgeport Art Center Oct. 5 will feature rare and everyday beers from Half Acre, Baderbrau, Virtue Cider, Great Lakes, Uinta, Sixpoint, Stone, and Revolution, among other breweries. There will also be food trucks selling their wares and a pig roast in Bridgeport Art Center’s sculpture garden.

The festival dovetails nicely with the release of issue 2 of Mash Tun: A Craft Beer Journal, the journal dedicated to beer and how it intersects with food, culture and society.

Tickets to Mash Tun Oktoberfest are on sale now online for $30; click here to purchase tickets. Admission will be $40 at the door.

Mash Tun Oktoberfest, 5-9 p.m. Oct. 5 at Bridgeport Art Center, 1200 W. Racine.
