Chicago Beer Week Comes to Evanston!
The second annual Chicago Craft Beer Week (CCBW) comes to Evanston’s very own Prairie Moon restaurant May 19-27. The Chicago Craft Beer Week aims to celebrate all the outstanding beers available in the Chicago area and the restaurants and bars who bring them to us.
CCBW is organized by the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild as an exhibition of the city's craft beer community, the venues serving craft beers and the breweries served in those venues. The week is celebrated through a series of featured events showcasing the wealth of great beer available throughout the Chicagoland area. Learn more>>>
Evanston’s Prairie Moon in Evanston (1502 Sherman Ave.) will host 4 events, kicking off the week with a special evening with the Evanston Homebrew Club:
• Thirsty Thursday—Homebrewers of the World Unite! May 19
• Firkin Friday with Arcadia Ales. May 20
• Great Lakes Brewing Company… Great Beer and a Great Brewer. May 23
• New Holland Brewing Company… Hell Yeah! May 25
“Evanston welcomes the Chicago Craft Beer Week to the area,” explained Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl. “We are thrilled that Prairie Moon, a locally owned and operated restaurant, is hosting some of the events and recognize its support of the Evanston Homebrew Club as well as local and national craft brewers.”
Evanston’s restaurant and bar scene is as accessible as Evanston itself, where the CTA Purple Line and the Metra Union Pacific North Line connect you with many of the city’s diverse neighborhoods and business districts. Whether dining out means sitting down to an elegant five-course meal or grabbing a quick bite on the run, Evanston has you covered with its nearly 150 restaurants.
