Alarmist Brewing & Taproom

A great brewery tucked away on the north side with an outstanding selection of beer, wine, and cocktails. They have plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor along with a big parking lot. They have food popups fairly often, but also have many tasty places to order from in the area. Whether you're stopping by for an afternoon pint or having a party, you can rest assured its gonna be a good time!

One of my favorite breweries in Chicago. Good beer and it’s always served in a 0.5L. Plus it’s dog friendly!!

Great staff!!!

Great beer, spacious indoor seating, and a nice outdoor space. Not sure you can ask for more ?

Can't go wrong with Le juice! We have to make a stop every time were in Chicago

Lack of available merchandise. I buy merchandise from all the local breweries in Chicago and this is one of the rare times where there was no merchandise to buy. I also purchased a growler fill which I was told would be around $15 with my own growler but they charged me $27. They also did not seal the growler properly and it leaked in my trunk.

Fantastic place to host a low key event! So easy to communicate with leading up to our event. The place has great beer with some cocktail options too and we ordered some Lou's in from nearby. Highly recommend for a fun, casual get-together with friends.

Do I recommend this place? Yes, but depending on who is bartending. It’s never a good feeling to over hear a bartender call you derogatory names when you’re feet away from them- great way to lose “regulars” / consistent business.

Took my little cousin here as his first brewery experience since it's near his college. It was also my first time having Alarmist beer. The drinks were great! Not sure what struggles the bartender was having in his life tonight (Wednesday, June 12), but he was not very friendly to us. I hope he finds peace in whatever he was dealing with. Also, they do last call 30-40 minutes before posted closing time, so make sure you get there plenty early.

Came here for a birthday party one a beautiful day to enjoy the patio. La Cocinita had a food truck outside which made for sabrosa Venezuelan eats while we enjoyed the lovely atmosphere; inside and outside.

The NA options were also a bonus for those non-imbibers looking to enjoy a brewery setting. Will return.

Bright open space. Chill vibe. Nice staff. Most importantly, tasty beers.
Kid and dog friendly.

Good quality beer available in this locale. Surprised by some varieties I have not seen elsewhere (rauchbier and schwarzbier come to mind). Love the discounted/on sale selection. Brewery is well decorated. The only issue is the location far removed into the northwestern part of the city.

Great space and beer garden. Tons of parking. Excellent beers. High energy staff. I'm knocking a star off due to the dumpster smell coming into place from out back every so often. Grody.

This location is very refreshing; everyone is so laid back, dogs are welcome, and the beer is excellent. Will without a doubt suggest to friends and family.

Love this place! Old Sap played tonight. Service is impeccable, to my boys!
