NAPERVILLE, IL -- The fifth Naperville Ale Fest is coming to town on Saturday, July 15, at the Naperville Settlement from noon to 5 p.m. Unlike the Winter Ale Fest this February, though, beer lovers won't have to face the biting cold to enjoy some great craft brews.

The festival, features over 200 unique beers from craft breweries around the country. Local breweries showing their stuff will be Naperville's 2 Fools Cider and Granite City Brewery, Aurora's BBGB Brewing and Plainfield's Werk Horse Brewing Company. Beers will come from all corners of the country. "Whether you're new to craft beer or a craft-beer connoisseur, it has something for everyone," Josh Seago, an event organizer, told the Naperville Sun.

"New this year will be four additional specialty tents," Seago told the Sun. "Christmas in July will feature four Christmas beers, Lager Lane will feature some of Chicagoland's favorite craft lagers, the West Coast IPA tent will focus on some of the most popular West Coast IPAs, and the Left Hand Brewing Nitro Tent will feature four unique nitro beers."

A portion of proceeds from the event will go to support the Naperville Settlement and the Naperville Heritage Society. General admission entry begins at 1 p.m., but VIP ticket holders can enter at noon.

Beer tasters will receive 18 drink tickets, each of which is good for a three-ounce glass of beer. They are offering Designated Driver tickets, which allow ticket holders access to craft root beer and ginger ale. They will also get free water, live music and access to the many food trucks.

All festival goers will have a chance to interact with brewers and pick their brains. One benefit to festivals like this is being surrounded by like-minded beer lovers.
