CHICAGO (WLS) -- Friday Night Flights returns this week to Chicago for the summer season.

It's a chance to try some of the beers made by local craft breweries.

Friday night flights kicks off at Gallagher way on Friday.

"Chicago's craft breweries play a foundational role in building and sustaining robust economic activity in the neighborhoods and communities they call home," said Ray Stout, executive director for the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild.
