From Deschutes:

Deschutes Brewery brings its Base Camp for Beer Fanatics campaign to Chicago for an amazing series of specialty beer tastings, beer and food pairings, and appearances by Woody, the giant beer barrel on wheels. Deschutes brewers, ambassadors and fanatics will be on hand to provide some in-the-trenches insight into our courageously crafted brews.

What is Base Camp you may ask? It’s a place where Deschutes Brewery offers beer fanatics a spot to “pitch a tent” of sorts – and find their footing with the cornerstone of Mirror Pond Pale Ale. Deschutes Brewery Base Camp is a celebration of Mirror Pond’s easy-drinking goodness, along with many more of the brewery’s passion-heavy, pioneering brews. The Deschutes Brewery team is traveling around to cities all over the West and Midwest, providing passionate fans with a seriously fun exploration of beer.  Make the trek to Base Camp.  It all begins here…

Where’s Woody?
Woody, our good-times-on-wheels mobile bar, will be meeting and greeting fans around the region throughout Base Camp week. In Chicago, Woody may be found roving around your neighborhood so you can get photos, grab some swag and have some afternoon fun. Follow him at @dbwoody!

  • Wed, 8/28, 12-3pm       West Loop and Madison Street
