Come out and enjoy the best beers and best foods from Chicago area brewpubs and microbreweries. Sample a bunch of beers and each brewery’s food item and then vote for your favorites (beer, food item, and beer-food combination). Winners will be announced at the end of the event. Support your favorite brewery or brewpub – or discover a new favorite. Either way, you get to taste the very best beer and food that Chicago has to offer.
The Shootout runs from 1-5 pm at the Irish American Heritage Center, 4626 N Knox Ave, Chicago. Tickets are $40 for members, $50 for nonmembers (if any are available). You must be 21 or older to attend this non-smoking event. NOTE: due to the enormous demand for tickets, the following policy is in effect:
- Only current members as of December 1, 2007 can order tickets (1 ticket per single member; 2 tickets for couples) from December 12 through the end of the year. Requests for multiple tickets will not be honored.
- Orders will be filled based on postmark date. Once we reach capacity, all unfilled orders will be returned and a sellout will be posted here.
- If tickets are still available after this exclusive members-only offer, a PDF order form will be posted here on January 2, 2008. Again, nonmember or additional member orders will be processed based on postmark date. Nonmember orders sent prior to January 2 (assuming tickets are still available) will be returned.
We’re sorry that we have to enforce such strict guidelines, but space is extremely limited and the demand is extremely high. We cannot even guarantee tickets for all our members. Thanks for your unbelievable support for the Shootout. Best of luck with your ticket orders and hope to see you at the IAHC!
As of Monday, December 31, the Shootout is completely SOLD OUT. We were able to sell all available tickets via our exclusive offer to our members. To increase your chances of getting a ticket in the future, join CBS!
Occasionally a few tickets may be available as current ticket holders run into last-minute conflicts. Please monitor the CBS-HB listserv, as this is typically where people announce that they have some available.
