CHICAGO, March 12, 2013 /mbb/ — On May 11 at Soldier Field, beer enthusiasts and festival-goers alike will come together with one commonality: to celebrate good beer! Along with a wide variety of breweries and hundreds of beers, guests will also experience live music, educational sessions, food, merchandise and, of course, tours of the iconic Soldier Field.
Beginning at $40 per ticket, guests start sampling at noon and have their pick of hundreds of beers to taste with their custom American Beer Classic sampling cup. The session is four hours and guests have the option to upgrade to a VIP pass, which entitles them to a private lounge and access to the festival an hour earlier. For those attending as a designated driver, there’s a discounted ticket price as well as a lounge with alcohol-free beverage options.
"We’re thrilled to bring American Beer Classic to life," says Arielle Bluestein , American Beer Classic Director. "We’re working hard until May to bring people together to celebrate beer on the iconic Solider Field."
