Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago. On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski & Nik White Josh Riley from the Kankakee Journal. Josh is also an honorary ambassador of Brickstone Brewery in Bourbonnai. The guys have known Josh for a few years and constantly run into each other at events around Illinois. It’s great to get an insight into what’s happening outside of the city and what some of Josh’s readers look for when they travel out of Kankakee. As the guys discuss Josh’s journey into beer and writing they sip on a few can from Brickstone Brewery. Coming up this weekend is the Naperville Ale Fest on Saturday and Darkside Sunday, at Emporium Wicker Park. The weather is finally starting to warm up, so get out there and check one of these out.
