Craft Beer Tasting Event on the Museum Rooftop


You’re invited to join us at the Joliet Area Historical Museum for the Craft & Import Beer Tasting Event on Thursday, July 17th from 5:30 to 9:00pm.

Join us on the Museum's spacious Outdoor Rooftop Terrace and sample a vast array of handcrafted premium and import beers and ciders from over 14 Brewers that will be on hand to sample their products.

We are offering a very special admission price of $18.00 or $16.00 for Museum members. Admission includes free hot appetizers, unlimited beer sampling from over 14 breweries, prizes and raffles, and free tours of the Museum exhibits and galleries. Local Breweriana collector and historian John Bittermann will have his collection on display and hold a special presentation at 7:30 pm, providing interesting facts and details about Joliet's oldest and most famous brewery buildings.

As an added bonus, Callaloo, a popular steel pan band will be playing Caribbean/Latin rhythms and World Music on the Outdoor Rooftop!

Advance registration is strongly encouraged and can be done by going on-line at www.jolietmuseum.org, calling 815-723-5201 ext. 222, or by visiting the Museum Gift Shop. No tickets will be mailed. Your name and the names of all registered guests will be entered on a check-in list. Guests will provide their name upon arrival at the check-in table.

The Museum is located at 204 N. Ottawa St.(Cass & Ottawa) in Joliet. Free parking available less than a block away at Webster & Ottawa St.
