Beer Under Glass | Friday, August 27, 2021
Beer Under Glass is BACK. This special edition craft beer festival and fundraiser returns to the Garfield Park Conservatory on Friday, August 27th!
Traditionally a cornerstone of Illinois Craft Beer Week, Beer Under Glass was canceled last year out of concern for the health and safety of our member brewers, staff, volunteers, and attendees. With the Chicago economy now fully reopened, we are excited to welcome back our breweries and craft beer fans for this one-of-a-kind experience.
What’s New
This summer’s special edition Beer Under Glass invites attendees to sample craft beer while enjoying exclusive, after-hours access to the Conservatory. Pours from 70+ statewide breweries will be available during two limited tasting sessions, each with 1,000 attendees to allow for social distancing and a more intimate festival experience. All breweries will be positioned in the outdoor gardens, but the Conservatory’s indoor collections will be available for self-guided tours.
General admission tickets are $75 and will be available on Friday, July 23. ImBIBE members get early access to tickets beginning Tuesday, July 20. There is no VIP ticket or early entry this year, and the festival will continue rain or shine. Food and beverages from some of Chicago's best local restaurants and food trucks will be available for purchase throughout the gardens.
Now in its 11th year, Beer Under Glass is hosted by the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild (ICBG) and the Garfield Park Conservatory Alliance (GPCA). All proceeds support GPCA’s mission to change lives through the power of nature and connect people to plants, and ICBG’s mission to support and protect the state’s craft beer industry through education, advocacy, and promotion.
With the rapid spread of the COVID-19 Delta variant, proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test administered within 72 hours of the festival will be required upon entry for all organizers, volunteers, and attendees. We encourage patrons to download your vaccination card on the new immunization portal, Vax Verify, found at https://idphportal.illinois.gov. A picture copy on a phone will also be accepted.
Additionally, masks will be required in all indoor gardens for all patrons, regardless of vaccination status, unless actively eating or drinking.
Thank you for helping us move forward with the festival while providing a safe, healthy environment for all.
