A Chicago holiday tradition is back at the Lincoln Park Zoo: the annual ZooLights will shine until January 4, 2015. This year, the zoo is featuring a new event: BrewLights is presented by Louis Glunz Beer, one of the country's oldest beer distributors. All proceeds from BrewLights will help keep Lincoln Park Zoo open and free to the public all year.
Eric Kobus, craft and specialty brands manager at Louis Glunz Beer, Inc., came into our ABC 7 Eyewitness News studio to tell us about the one-night-only BrewLights event and to show us how to best pair seasonal brews with foods.
