20 Best Craft Breweries near Des Plaines

Fibs Brewing Brewery • $$
260 Howard Ave, Des Plaines

“This place sports a cozy brick-and-mortar ambiance. They carry a truly unique selection of craft beers including a refreshingly tart apple ale. The service is top-notch and friendly. Not even the passive-aggressive patron sitting next to me could ruin my time here. I would definitely come back again.“

Printer's Row Brewing Brewery • $$
4801 N Austin Ave, Chicago - 7.14 miles

“I have definitely had some less-than-stellar microbrewery experiences but this was NOT one of them. 100% success rate on the interesting and completely exceptional beer here. Solar flare, Portage Pils, Ridiculousness. Coming from THE Bier Capital of the planet, completely comfortable recommending this small business to do business with. Very good Bier indeed.“

Phase Three Brewing Company - Taproom + Kitchen Brewery • $$
494 Spring Rd, Elmhurst - 9.99 miles

“We ate at Phase Three today at the recommendation of my doctor. And it did NOT disappoint. We even got a complimentary meal from the Executive Chef so he didn’t waste the plate after taking pictures of his new special. To say the food was amazing is an understatement. There were so many flavors and they all blended so dang well. They even had some unique beer option that we brought home. If your down in the Chicago area or willing to make the trip, it’s definitely worth it“

Biker Dude Smash Burgers was there, went to a 90 wait within 15 mins of starting up…. Would’ve waited 9 hours and been worth it!!! Must visit if in the Chicago area 🍻“

“Came here today (party of 6, with three small kids) and everything was wonderful. Very helpful staff, lovely restaurant, and delicious food. We were hoping to sit outside but the indoor ambience was lovely. All of our food was amazing and came out quickly. We had a hard time deciding on how to order food for two toddlers and the waitress stepped right in with suggestions and portion sizes. It really took the leg work out of ordering food and hoping it wouldn’t be too much/too little. This is such a welcome addition to the downtown Skokie area as there aren’t many decent brunch/lunch options so we will definitely be back and we hope Don Julio’s becomes a mainstay here!“

District Brew Yards Brewery •
700 N Milwaukee Ave, Wheeling - 8.83 miles

“Amazing brewery, definitely a must try. It's self-service so you can do small pours and taste as many as you'd like. Nearly every beer was phenomenal, I was especially happy with their unique brand of a Hefenweize called Chicago-Hefe. They have a huge selection. Plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating. As a bonus the food there was also very good, the wings were cooked to perfection. Plenty of board games too for passing the time with friends and family. I'll definitely be back!“

The Pho was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was my first time having it so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The beef skewers, egg rolls, and wings were amazing. All four of us left full and happy! Definitely recommend!“
