Derby & Pre-Cinco Beer Weekend Around Chicago, May 2-4

D&G Brewing in St. Charles is moving its final days to this weekend. But meanwhile, the brewer’s coop Monochrome Brewing is saying “hello.”

With all the other events stacked up this first weekend in May, it’s also the time for outdoor openings. Libertyville’s Independence Grove preserve is opening its beer garden on May 2, featuring a lineup of Lake County brews on tap. Hours this month will be Friday through Sunday, 1-9 pm, with May 5th hours at 5-9, then expanding to Tuesday-Sunday after Memorial Day.
