About this Event
Maifest is a centuries old German festival celebrating the arrival of spring. It all began with neighbors and friends celebrating the arrival of warm weather with dancing, music, and, well, beer.
After braving the cold Chicago winter, we all deserve a Maifest of our own. Brewer Mike is whipping up a Maibock that is perfect to crush on our patio.
Come hang out at the Goose Island Salt Shed Pub on Saturday, May 2nd starting at 11AM. Grab a limited-edition Maifest stein while supplies last (did we mention that it comes with $1 refills?) and feast on Maifest-inspired food.
Prost to the coming of spring!
