Craft Beer Festivals in Lake County

Festivals

Craft beer became “trendy” about ten years ago, but a decade later it’s safe to say it’s a trend that’s sticking around. From the city to the suburbs, it seems like a new brewery is popping up on every corner, Lake County is home to some of the best. With so many breweries and so little time, attending one–or maybe more–of the local craft beer fests is a great way to taste test many microbrews, from citrusy wheat beers to hoppy IPAs. We’ve rounded up the details of this year’s craft beer fests in Lake County, but be sure to pay attention to ticket sales — most sell out in advance of the event. These events are for adults ages 21 and older, so be sure to book a sitter in advance.
