Chicago's New Craft Beer Festival Is On Tap For The Riverwalk
By Stephen Gossett in Food on Aug 9, 2017 9:55PM
Chicago's craft beer scene is second to none (we will fight you, California), so it made obvious sense when the city and one of its tourism arms at last decided to embrace that fact further with Friday Night Flights—a collection of six new craft-beer festivals this summer. Make that seven.
The city announced today the addition of a Riverwalk version, slated for Friday, Aug. 18. Rahm clearly can't let an occasion slip that might spotlight his showpiece project. But that's ok, since this fest has potential. And we built the thing, so might as well enjoy it.
New: We're adding #ChiRiverwalk to Friday Night Flights on Aug 18! Sample local food and craft beers. https://t.co/WanAkfCmhr #ChiFriFlights pic.twitter.com/0KIMuOGycL
