Proceeds from the Bike Town Bash fund the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation's work to improve bicycling in Chicagoland and to increase the numbers who use bicycling as a healthy mode of transportation.

Hosted in the brewery's loading dock, the Bike Town Bash features old-school hip hop spun by turntablist DJ sCeNa, a silent auction, tours of the brewery, appetizers, and Tiny Bike Races in which partygoers can compete for prizes riding on clown bikes, big wheels and tricycles provided by the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation.

All ages are welcome, but IDs are required to purchase alcohol (two free drink tickets are given with each admission). Goose Island's line of sodas also is available.

Admission for Bike Town Bash is $25 for members of the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation and $30 for non-members. A membership/admission special is offered at $50, which includes a yearlong membership in the Chicagoland Bicycle Federation. Also available are $100 VIP tickets that entitle the bearer to extras and special treatment for the night.
