The 11-day Chicago Craft Beer Week kicks off Thursday with Beer Under Glass at the Garfield Park Conservatory, which has been sold out for weeks and may be hampered by rain.

Two other events that are proving to be popular are the Lagunitas Beer Circus May 17 and 18 and Goose Island's Sunday Funday May 18.

I recommended Lagunitas' event in my CCBW preview Monday. Saturday is sold out but as of post time there were still tickets to Sunday. Chicagoist is giving away a pair of tickets to Sunday's Beer circus, which will be the first opportunity for the public to see Lagunitas' Douglas Park brewhouse and its upcoming tap room. To qualify to win these passes, email us with the subject heading "Lagunitas Beer Circus." Please leave your name, address and a number we can reach you so we can let you know if you won.

Goose Island, meanwhile, is debuting their new barrel warehouse at 600 N. Sacramento Blvd. to the public with a "Sunday Funday" event 2 p.m. - 6 p.m. May 18. The highlight of the event will be a dodgeball tournament featuring local craft breweries. There will also be a mini golf course set up in the warehouse, live music, food trucks and $3 Goose Island beers. Chicagoist is giving away two pairs of tickets to this event. To qualify, email us with the subject heading "Goose Island Funday." Please leave your name, address and a number we can reach you so we can let you know if you won.

Winners will be notified before 5 p.m. Thursday.
