Beer? School? Festival? You can sign me up... just as long as the school part doesn't involve any math homework! Sheffield's in Lake View is offering their first ever Beer School Beer Festival designed to teach beer patrons about rare and specialty brews. It happens this Saturday, Jan. 17 from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. There'll be over 15 different breweries on hand including locals Three Floyds, Goose Island, Two Brothers, and Flossmoor Station. Others include Dogfish Head, Left Hand, Bells, New Holland, and many others.
Entry is $40 and you get 12 drink tickets that enable you to sip on any 14 different drafts AND 4 different cask condition ales! Not to worry! Extra tickets will be available for purchase if necessary!
Admission tickets are very limited. You might want to stop at Sheffields' (corner of Sheffield and School) and pick up some or call them at 773-281-4989. Appetizers will be available.
I've only been there a handful of times, but it's nice, cozy neighborhood tavern for those who want to avoid the typical Wrigleyville sports bars.
