Chicago Craft Beer Week is a bit of a misnomer. Its hundreds of events don’t fit into just seven days. There are beer dinners and specials, tap takeovers, and collaborative releases at bars and restaurants around Chicago (and extending into the suburbs, which boast plenty of breweries these days). Things kick off tomorrow with Beer Under Glass and conclude a week from Saturday with the Welles Park Craft Beer Fest.
DryHop releases its third annual Women of DryHop beer, She Sells Sea Salt—an American farmhouse ale brewed with hibiscus flowers and sea salt. It’s the first in a series of new releases from DryHop and Corridor over the next week, including collaborations with Big Star, 5 Rabbit, Penrose, and Broken Nose Cider. 6 PM, DryHop Brewers, 3155 N. Broadway, 773-857-3155, no cover
Thursday 5/26 Work by the artists who created many local craft beer labels will be on display in the Village Tap beer garden for the Art of Craft Beer. Beer from the featured breweries (including Off Color, Pipeworks, Three Floyds, and Aquanut) will also be available. 5-10 PM, 2055 W. Roscoe, 773-883-0817, no cover
