July 1: Check out Old Chicago's Mini-Tour
Old Chicago, the newish pizza joint on the south side, has a year-round World Beer Tour, where you can try and drink every brew they have in house. It's a bit daunting. Fortunately for your liver, they also do regular mini-tours, which are themed lists of beers, usually having to do with a holiday. Right now they're promoting the Great Craft Beers of America. Sign up, finish all of them (there are 10-12, typically) and you'll win a T-shirt. And hey, it's a nice start if you want to do the World Tour with the big boys, too.
Old Chicago: 2040 E. Independence St., 417-887-0100
