Chicago mongers - the time is nigh to throw down with The Barnyard crew. Join us for a vertical tasting through the Alpine cheese family with your three favorite purveyors of such cheese: Essex Street, Columbia Cheese and Jasper Hill. Tickets to cheese, beer and fun are just $25 and all proceeds go to benefit the Daphne Zepos Teaching Award.

The event takes place at the Open Books Literacy Center; 213 W. Institute Place, Suite 207, Chicago, IL. Get tickets here while they last!
