The Beyond Beer & Bourbon Fest, presented by Blue Ribbon Products is elevating this year’s event and partnering with the all-new Hollywood Casino Joliet to really make this not just a day—but a weekend to remember!

Saturday’s festival expands to Beyond Beer & Bourbon sampling not only craft beers and premium Bourbons, but we’ve added wines, tequilas, rums, vodka, hard seltzers, ready-to-drink cocktails and more making sure there is something for everyone.
