The Elmhurst Craft Beer Fest continues to raise the bar as a highly anticipated event, giving attendees a taste of dozens of renowned local beers and ciders.

The eighth annual festival hosted by the Elmhurst Heritage Foundation drew crowds from the west suburbs hoping to kick off the fall season with family and friends.

Whether you’re a brew buff or curating your taste for cocktails, the event at the Elmhurst History Museum had something for everyone.

All proceeds from the event benefited educational programs at the museum and Churchville Schoolhouse.
