Celebrate the Chicago specialty that is encased meats this weekend at SausageFest. This sausage party includes more than a dozen types from local standouts including Kimski, Kaiser Tiger and Bixi Beer, as well as another dozen-plus sausages from host Haymarket Brewery. Cheese, beer and cider round out the festival, with plenty of good Midwestern offerings to enjoy. Tickets include all food and drink.
The title of Vintage Beer Fest is a bit misleading — the festival, hosted by Delilah’s and now in its 21st year, features more than aged brews. Unusual brews is probably a more accurate description, as VBF offers an impressive selection of strong ales, barrel-aged brews, sours and live beers, many of which will, yes, be available in multiple vintages. The regional turnout is exceptional too, featuring Three Floyds, Half Acre, Bell’s, Founders and other favs.
