Naperville Ale Fest - Winter

25/02/2023

Frontier Park, Illinois

2023 NAPERVILLE ALE FEST - WINTER EDITION

 

Everything you need to know about the 2023 Naperville Ale Fest - Winter Edition

The 2023 Naperville Ale Fest - Winter Edition will take place on Saturday, February 25th on the frozen tundra of Frontier Park in Naperville, Illinois.

A time-honored tradition, this is Illinois’ largest outdoor winter beer fest. Yes, it will be cold, but also filled with beer! We’ll feature more than 150 craft beers – with a strong focus on beers only available in the winter months. Since most beer fests take place in the summer, it’s rare to get a chance to try this many stouts, porters, barrel-aged beers, winter warmers, and giant double IPAs all in one place.

150+ Craft Beers
Expect a lot of craft beer. We’ve pulled together over 150 of the best beers this country has to offer, with a focus on the types of beers you don’t typically see at a beer fest -- stouts, porters, barrel-aged beers, winter warmers, and giant double IPAs.

Infusion Tent

Four beers poured through infusion machines called Randalls filled with fresh fruit, chocolate, coffee and more to create one-time-only beers. The beers will be holiday dessert themed from some of Chicgoland’s favorite brewers.

Originally created by the craft beer innovators at Dogfish Head Brewery, a Randall is an organoleptic hop transducer module… which is a fancy way of saying it’s a device that infuses flavor into beer. The beer flows through the Randall on its way from the keg to the tap, pulling flavors out of the ingredients in its path. Randalls run beer through fresh hops, coffee, cinnamon, vanilla beans – anything really, making it a fantastic way to participate in one of our favorite parts of craft beer: the experimentation. It’s a way to take something great, and make it even better.

Cask Tent

We’ll be tapping five limited edition casks from some of Chicago’s best breweries. What is a cask? A Cask is a barrel-shaped container used for the production, storage, and service of cask-conditioned beer. Our featured brewers will take a base beer you’ve heard of, toss it into a barrel with some special ingredients, and let it ferment into the fine, one-time-only brew you’ll sample on festival day.

 

Food Trucks

Ten of Chicago’s favorite food trucks will be in attendance. Check back soon for the full list of participating food trucks
