Milkshake IPA

Back by popular demand, the Naperville Ale Fest will feature the beer trend: BEERS THAT TASTE LIKE A MILKSHAKE! With IPAs that are brewed to taste like a milkshake, we’ll make sure we bring all the boys to the yard!

House Of Funk

"House of Funk" features regional breweries producing some seriously funky and unique takes on the sour style. Tart, complex and totally unique, these are beers worth dissecting.

Cider Alley

Cider Alley is a special place at our festival for those with a taste for something outside of the beer lane. It’s a tasty side trip from the malts, yeasts and hops into the world of ciders. We’ll be featuring craft ciders from Chicago and beyond, all perfect summer sipping.

Christmas in July

Why wait all they way until December to enjoy some Christmas Ales. The Christmas in July Tent will feature some of Chicagoland’s favorite craft Christmas Ale. All the joys of the holiday season with out the cold and snow.

Mini Food Truck Fest

There are few things we love more than food trucks. That’s why we’re packing Naperville Ale Fest with a mini food truck fest, and bringing 10 of our favorite trucks in the gates. Besides the 150+ craft beer options, you’ll have tons of tasty food options to pair.
