Start preparing your appetites, Chicago. Our 2016 Mash Tour is heading to town from August 11-14, bringing in a deluge of beer, food, beer, exploration, music, beer, and a tad bit more beer thrown in for good measure. You can never have too much beer when you’re planning parties like these. Tickets are on sale at the Mash site now. Check out the events below, then start planning your long weekend with us– it’s going to be a wild ride.
Thursday, August 11: Dinner with Friends at TWO. Brooklyn Brewery Chef Andrew Gerson and his longtime friend and Chicago native Chef Danny Espinoza are teaming up with TWO Executive Chef Kevin Cuddihee to bring you a mind-blowing menu and host of incredible beers to share with your friends. No choosing dishes, no regimented pairings, just show up with your crew and enjoy.
Friday, August 12: Timberland Presents. We’re getting together with our friends at Timberland to throw the best sort of concert: A free one. With plenty of beer, of course. All you have to do is let us know you’re coming, and come ready to dance.
Saturday, August 13: Beer Mansion. It’s like a beer festival, but almost completely different. Forget the convention centers and florescent lights: we’re taking you on an immersive journey through the world of beer. We can promise two things: it’s nothing like you’ve seen before, and there will be plenty of beer for all from us and some of our Chicagoan brethren.
Sunday, August 14: Pilsen Immersion. Meet us at the Timberland Trailhead and get an insider’s look at one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Chicago. All you need is your guide booklet and you’re off for lunch, beers, shopping, and whatever else the day may hold.
