Chicago is home to an epic craft beer scene, featuring everything from experimental microbreweries to some of the biggest names in the industry. And the best way to experience the city’s brewing community is with the Chicago Brew Pass.
Sign up for your Chicago Brew Pass
Back for its second season, this year’s Chicago Brew Pass has even more breweries and exciting prizes. We’ve added nine new breweries, including a local meadery, the city’s first Black-owned microbrewery, and the only two Michelin-starred brewery in the world.
New prizes include branded shirts, pints glasses, and bottle openers in collaboration with local vendor Rags of Honor, a local organization dedicated to empowering and uplifting veterans. Prizes are available while supplies last.
Other new prizes include tickets to the hit show The Choir of Man at the Apollo Theater. Set in the best pub in the world, nine (extra)ordinary guys combine hair-raising harmonies, foot stomping sing-alongs, and the music you love for 90-minutes of feel-good entertainment.
This season’s grand prize is an ultimate Chicago weekend getaway, including a two-night hotel stay for two, a $100 restaurant gift card, and a unique Chicago experience.
How does Chicago Brew Pass work?
This free pass lets you earn points by visiting participating breweries all around the city. It’s quick and easy to check in with your phone, no downloads or apps required. The more breweries you visit, the more points you accumulate.
Points can be redeemed for exclusive prizes, including pint glasses, t-shirts, and theatre tickets. After 20 unique brewery visits, participants will be automatically entered into a sweepstakes for the ultimate Chicago weekend getaway, including a hotel room for two, a dining gift card, and more.
