The Bacon and Beer Classic is stopping in Chicago for the first time on October 10th!

Come down to Soldier Field for two sessions—"Brunch" or "Evening"—featuring 30+ local restaurants showcasing their bacon-inspired dishes. There will also be a variety of bacon strips to try, and the good news? Bacon tastings are unlimited!

You won't want for beer, either; sample from 80+ craft brews! Your ticket gets you 48 2-ounce samples, and if that's not enough for you, there'll be an option to purchase 10 more for $5.

The Classic, from the same company that produced Lions, Tigers and Brews at the Lincoln Park Zoo last September, will also host music, games, contests, a photo booth and more to entertain you between beers and bacon strips.

Score 20% off tickets with code: CHICAGOIST. This event draws sell-out crowds, so act fast!

General Admission and VIP tickets available. General Admission includes unlimited bacon samples, 48 2-ounce pours of beer, and a branded souvenir tasting glass. VIP includes all of GA package, 1-hour early entrance at 1pm and 6pm, and access to the Midway Lounge for exclusive VIP beer tastings.
