10. Your first chance to see the brewery is coming up

If you’re foaming at the mouth to see Lagunitas' new Chicago operation, then hit the freaktacular Beer Circus -- live music, carnival rides, vaudeville performers, kegway scooters, and possibly the second coming of Randy Savage -- on May 17th and 18th. Event info and tickets here.

Sean Cooley is Thrillist's Chicago Editor, and we'll see if his 2014 Eater prediction comes true at the beer circus. Follow him @SeanCooley.
