2024 Breweries
We’re excited to be joined by such excellent brewers! The 2024 lineup features some returning breweries and some new friends. The annual festival collaboration beer was made with Sketchbook Brewing from Skokie, Illinois. We had a ton of fun working with them to craft a special lager and we think you’ll really enjoy it - stay tuned for details!
