Brew Lights

This past week we tried a new tradition of attending the Lincoln Park Zoo lights adult night.  The event was $35 a person and included a tasting of 12 different beers.  

I do love going to the Lincoln Park zoo for the light show.  It reminds me of home and the Toledo Zoo.  The only perk is on any other night the Lincoln Park Zoo is free to the public. 

If I had the chance to attend this event again I probably would pass and just go on a different night.  The lines were way too long and once you finally were able to reach the front they poured 2 sips into your mug as your "tasting."  We just couldn't commit to getting all 12 beers by the time we waited in 4 loooong lines In 20 degree weather.  It sounded like a really fun experience but I think they sold too many tickets and over crowded the space.

I do highly suggest visiting the Lincoln Park Zoo any other time though.  It is one of the cities gems and a great place to start new traditions.
