Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.

On this weeks episode, Brad Chmielewski & Nik White are drinking the latest collaboration release from Off Color & Miller High Life. Off Color Brewing’s Eeek was released this past weekend at their brewery and after that won’t be sold in Illinois. Both Brad and Nik were at the release and picked up a few bottles to share and sample.

Now that the Great American Beer Festival is behind us, it seems like the Chicago events are back in full swing. So if you’re not busy watching the Cubs, you might want to check out a few of these. Friday night at Paddy Long's Beer and Bacon Pub is The 6th Annual Barrel Aged Malort and Cheap Beer Festival. This event kicks off at 7:00 PM and features 16 hand-picked and well loved regional cheap beers for just $3 each. On Saturday at Blue Island Beer Company is the 2nd Annual Sessh Fest! For just $25 you can celebrate session beers from 2 - 5 PM.

Cheers & thanks for listening to Chicago Beer Pass!
