Logan Square Beer Fest

Booths of beer unite under this secret auditorium in Logan Square hidden right between the doors of Lula’s Café. For the next 4 hours you can drink lots of beer, some maybe good, some maybe not so good, some are weird, and yet, oddly endearing.
For 2015 — we were given a list of brewers (20 tables), sample glass (too keep), a raffle ticket (hang on for the prizes) and a piece of paper with the numbers 1 – 50, presumably to track your samples (fyi — toss it, nobody cares!!!).
Glad to have checked out this beerfest. I got to sample some new breweries that I can’t seem to remember, I’ll have to look at my Untappd history. There were quite a selection from churro to s’more to dirty melon beers out there. My favorite ZumBier’s Zesticle (yes, it is mango), the strangest one Arcade’s Pale Minotaur — is that cheese?
Most of the festivities were in the auditorium with 3 tables upstairs. Lines, if any, moved very fast for each booth. Some brewers had hourly sections to sample their beer, and most booths had 2 or 3 to try from, so there was never a line.
A band was playing and Haute Sausage sold food. The women’s bathroom has only 2 toilets which could be a wait, but luckily it wasn’t bad. Overall, I had a good time, but thought the charge for admission to be a bit high. I might be old, but towards the end of the first session, the music got very loud.
