Last night we headed up to Lincoln Square for Mayfest and stayed in the back area to avoid the massive crowds of years past (2008 & 2010). As most neighborhood festivals in Chicago, Mayfest works on the ‘voluntary donation’ for entrance and the tickets system for food and drinks. Each ticket is $1 and 15 tickets gets you a boot filled with a liter of beer, 10 tickets gets you a refill. Not exactly a deal but it’s not every day you get to drink beer out of a boot.

After a a nap following Beer Hoptacular I headed up north for this year’s Mayfest.  Despite the rain and a short power outage the night went well.  There was a lot of beer as one might expect and a good group of people.  I think this year was the most time I’ve ever spent at Mayfest (we were actually there until last call).  Granted the previous years it’s usually 90 degrees and the middle of the afternoon.
