Emancipation Brewing Company

Found this random spot... randomly. What an awesome place! Excellently brewed brews, food trucks, friendly owners and staff. I'll be right back there next weekend.

10/31/24 - surprisingly crowded for a Thursday evening, 'Forkin Good' food truck was fast & good. New drafts since our last visit.

Enjoyed our visit, 2 flights & a few others and we found many that we really liked. Pizza truck was good. Wish it was closer

Really nice place, friendly employees and great beer. Well worth the trip!

Great beer, great people, great outdoor space. We came here with our dog to sample a few beers and they did not disappoint. We had their black IPA, one of their hazy IPAs, and rye amber lager. All of them were terrific - especially the black IPA. The staff there, as well as the patrons, were very friendly to us and our dog. There was plenty of seating outdoors and it was a nice view.

They often have pizza there in a truck outside their taproom. They have a calendar online where you can see if it'll be open that day. Unfortunately it wasn't open when we went, so I can't give a review on that. Thankfully, we were allowed to bring outside food in as we were hungry.

The place is just a bit hard to find as it's on a residential property in a barn a little way from the road. They have a sign, but it's a bit hard to see. Google maps well take you there, just keep your eyes peeled.

We came last year for the Barntoberfest. The beer is always great with tons of options. The food was great. The atmosphere is excellent. Looking forward to this year.

Paul and Nallely are awesome staff behind the bar!!

What a great out of the way place. A group of us rode out this weekend and we're pleasantly surprised at finding this little gem! Great beers, pizza truck, cheese, crackers, and cheesecake! And the people that own this place were amazing. We will be back....

Loved the country feel and spacious seating area. The restrooms were single stall but offered changing tables in men and women’s restrooms. Games for playing in lounge area. Our family of 4 enjoyed wonderful pizza and dessert from Pop-Up Pizza Co. Bought a growler to take home. Will definitely be back!

Staff, environment, drink selections... all 3 are great highlights I'd point out about this place.

We discovered this amazing oasis tucked away in the wilderness. So glad we ventured out to find it. The beers we sampled were top-notch, and the prices were reasonable. The outdoor setup is charming, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. Definitely worth the drive - tranquil ambiance, delightful staff, and fantastic brews!

Soo cute & drinks were good. Can't wait to go back!

Pet, kid, and nerd friendly brewery. Games and child sized drinks. (Flights actually, don't take your kids there for beers) Good beers and snacks available but not a place for a full dinner.

One of the best breweries in Illinois

Great environment! Delicious beer and friendly staff.
