I'm sure a lot of you know about this already, but it was new to me so I'll bet I'm not the only one who was in the dark.
Somebody (I'm not sure who) maintains a calendar of Chicago area beer events: https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=4fnme9rmk20odatisd2jks1pvo@gro...
If you use Google Calendar, click the "+ Google Calendar" button in the bottom right corner to add it to your regular calendar view. There's a ton of stuff in there, so you'll probably want to toggle it on and off in your calendar by clicking on it in the left sidebar, under "Other calendars."
It doesn't have everything (for example, I don't see the Beermiscuous tasting this Tuesday), but if you're looking for something to do, it might be worthwhile.
Works good on my phone thanks. Thats just what I needed more beer distraction .
