We’ve had blistering heat and a monsoon in recent years, but Saturday’s 28th annual Great Taste of the Midwest took place on a beautiful day.
Thanks to a new layout implemented last year, which moved a tent below the “loop road,” 6,000 patrons now have access to 160 breweries with more than 1,000 beers (and wine and liquor). And per usual, lines weren’t too long, unless you were in special areas or waiting for timed releases.
I didn’t sit through any of the three presentations, but I wanted to mention folks like Gail Ambrosius, Suzanne Wolcott (Goose Island) and Marc Buttera (O’so) were on the docket.
Finally, it’s nice to have a $1 Union Cab waiting for you when you leave, as long as you leave before everyone else does.
