Great beers, great staff, and surprisingly amazing pizza for a taproom!

A good pub/brewery with an impressive selection and low key ambiance.

The beer is high quality and the rotating recipes are inventive (without being weird). The staff is fantastic, and I'm so glad there are now some food options. This brewery is such a gem!

Cozy brewery & distillery nestled in a neighborhood and against the train tracks & highway.Great selection of unique beers and cocktails made from in house spirits. Some of the beers you can find in stores, others are unique to the location.They do still do scheduled beer releases you may only be able to get on location.You can bring in food, but there's also a selection of pizza that is pretty good.Only gripe would be that it was a bit difficult to find, if you hug the road that goes against the tracks its very narrow and basically an alley. Part of the charm though, makes the place feel like it's hidden.

Cool brewery to enjoy a drink. They had several options on tap, and they offer food as well. Only tried one of their beers, but I liked it. Bartenders were attentive and friendly. Its a small place but doesn't feel crowded at all

Small space, big vibes!

I love the lounge vibes here. Excellent beers, but unlike most taprooms, craft cocktails can be ordered as well. At the holidays, you must try the egg nog. And they’ve now added Professor Pizza too. Hands down one of my favorite spots in Chicago. Highly recommended.
Maplewood Brewing, it's been a while. I really want to LOVE this beer, as it's local and I can get it at my local Binny's.... but it's just a tad too sweet. The good news is that the initial shock of sweetness fades away after a beer or so, but still, too sweet for my taste. Nothing in the Chicago Metro area that I have found reaches the same level of beer as in the East Coast.

Cool brewery tucked back inconspicuously in the neighborhood. Great selection of beer and bourbon.

Cute, cozy spot. Really like the vibe and the beers. Also had an eggnog that was super tasty!The space is a bit small, so if you're looking for a spot for a lot of people it might be tough.

Nov 23' update: I love this place even more. The staff is always as awesome as can be! The beers are amazing still. Definitely have a customer for life.My personal favorite is belle monde when it's available. As of today (11/17/23) it was. But the regularly available is son of juice. It's what got me into them.They also distill some really great stuff!

Great beers and awesome hosts. Even the pizza was good. I took home a bottle of the Coffee Liquor they offer. Nice peaceful atmosphere.
Cozy is right, I always have a good time here!
