Naperville Ale Fest: A cold one on a hot day
There's nothing quite like a cold one on a hot day and Naper Settlement provided a little bit of both on Saturday when it played host to the third annual Naperville Ale Fest.
The fest, held on the grounds of the 19th-century living-history museum in downtown Naperville, featured roughly 220 different American craft beers presented by about 100 brewers from the Chicago area and across the country. The fest also featured a handful of hard cider brewers, a selection of food trucks and music from the Gregory Hyde Band.
A portion of the event's proceeds will benefit the Naperville Heritage Society and Naper Settlement.
Natasha Ditoro of Naperville enjoys her beer, as she tries to keep cool during the third annual Naperville Ale Fest at Naper Settlement. The fest featured more than 180 beers from craft brewers around the country.
