Dovetail is definitely my favorite Chicago area brewery, and probably my favorite brewery anywhere. It’s the place to go if you like European-style lagers. They make classic styles that’d you’d expect in that category, and they make some lesser known styles that are hard to find anywhere in the world. Many beers offered here are exclusive to the taproom. I say it’s worth the trip even if you get dovetail beers consistently at other places.
Walking in, the people are very friendly. It seems like everyone knows someone at the bar, so that was comforting to see. The staff seemed to be more about business. Place your order, is it ok, if something is wrong, they're going to try to get to the nitty-gritty of what the problem with the beer is. It's not that they're unfriendly, but you can tell that the staff cares a lot about their business.
I ordered the Porter and Framboise. The Porter...

Amazing. So good that we came here twice in our three night stay. There’s a lot of craft breweries churning out the same old same old, or overwrought overpriced crap. This place is unique and delicious and reasonably priced. Beautiful beers, great staff, amazing all around.
