Craft Breweries near Glenview

“Great beer. Great staff. Great live music.“

“We LOVED this place. Such a cool environment. I had the best cheese curds here. The food came so fast. The beer is very good. We definitely will come back and will recommend this place to everyone. By far one of my favorite breweries now. Bravo.“

“Great food and love the booth“

“This has quickly become our favorite neighborhood business. Staff is super friendly, beer is great! Dog and kid friendly. If you haven’t been, get yourself there.“

“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.“

“If you love hazy ipa's this place is a must. I've been drinking their beers for a handful of years and I couldn't wait for them to open a taproom. If you know anything about Hop Butcher, you know they're constantly making new beers. It's nicely designed, prices are reasonable and they have a store to purchase their beers on the other side. Definitely worth a visit. Great service with a pretty laidback vibe.“

“Okay, apart from the incredible beers and the fact that the sun shines in most of the day, Spiteful Brewing has the best bathroom in Chicago. 10/10 immaculate, cleanliness top notch, nice marmalade smell and quick dispensing paper towel machine. Epic. Would crawl in a deep hole in this bathroom to emerge like a phoenix through the ashes“

“We accidentally came on a release night, and got to sample some of the new stuff! It was great and ended up buying a pack to take home. While it was very busy, we still found standing room around the edge. The atmosphere was great, beer was delicious and crowd chill. It lived up to our expectations in every way.“

“I have enjoyed beer from Alarmist Brewing in the past, but on a recent sunny Saturday afternoon my love and I decided to finally visit Alarmist Brewing and Taproom. It is situated in Sauganash on Peterson, just about two blocks west of the Pulaski bus terminus. There is a free parking lot in case you are driving here. They have an outdoor patio, but we gladly grabbed seats in the taproom that faced out the "front window" for great people and dog watching. The menu lists two different flights, and we went with the Hoppy Flight with six 4-ounce pours. They don't serve food, but the staff was fine with us bringing in some sandwiches and chips to eat.“

“Recently went here for the first time. I particularly enjoyed the Coffee Blossom and Oaxacan Forest Wildflower traditional meads but there were a wide variety of flavored meads too, all of which were great. The owner was more than happy to tell us the story of the business and answer all of our questions about the process, ingredients, etc. I'm looking forward to going again in the future!“

“Nice, very tiny place. Good beer. Seating is not the most comfortable, lots of backless bar stools and small tables. Within the location is a business where they press cremated ashes into diamonds. Fine. But then brewery stuff is stored in the dead people processing partitioned space. I don't get it.“

“I love coming to Broken Tee for their Wednesday trivia nights. They have a good selection of drinks and of their food I've only tried their appetizers. I like that they have many options and my favorites where the Elote Cheese Bite and the cheese curds. I've received great service everytime I go and appreciate the cleanliness of the place too. Once it gets nice out I look forward to enjoying the outdoor seating.“

“Yummy beer, welcoming atmosphere!“

“Went for the Saturday brewery tour. Tour was fantastic and the guide spent quite a bit of time detailing how their brewing adheres to more tradition Bavarian methods vs American style brewing. Honestly I think their stuff tastes as good or better than the beers you find in Germany. They are all really well balanced and display a high level of craftsmanship.“

“I wished I lived near here! Located in Malt Row, a cute little neighborhood in Ravenswood, this location was packed for Bingo on a Sunday. Meter parking was free (bonus). I had the Irish Nitro and she had the cherry sour. The food truck outside provided us a breakfast burrito which we shared. Inside was lovely, outside was lovely, pooch dog friendly, I imagine this place is slammed in 'good weather' months. Pints were a $1 off. Come, be with your people.“

“They've got something for everybody, for every palette. Lately, my favorite brewery.“

“Very cool spot in Evanston. Great food and beer, live music, and the staff is friendly. And the vintage car vibe is really unique!“

“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Kalee's service, and I was incredibly impressed!Kalee was friendly, professional and , attentive .Kalee knowledge about micro beer ? was particularly helpful.Overall, Kalee's service was exceptional. She made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.“

“Great time here at this Brewery. I had the K-drama chicken, big pieces, and a super soft cornbread included. Amazing beer selection also. There was a book & record vendor event near their production space. Super cool as its surrounded by barrels on racks.“

“Another "not my first time here, but first Google Review" for this place! Been going here ever since their first day but not as frequently as imagined. They definitely have some unique beers as well as fun events throughout the years, one notably was an outdoor hip hop concert with Twista, Big Boi and Sleepy Brown, which was 1yr post-COVID. Recently went for their whopping 10 year anniversary (Fri 12/15/23) and the beers were absolutely and generously flowing. They opened up the back for a nice 80s cover band concert and also had pop up food and wine vendors. Videos here of that night. Whether for an event or not, this brewery is worth coming back to again and again.“

“Nice atmosphere for friends and fellowship“

“"Sketchbook Brewing Co. absolutely knocks it out of the park with their exceptional customer service and phenomenal beer! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel right at home. And let's talk about the beer - every pint I had was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. I'll be back again and again! 5/5 stars, highly recommended!"“

“Sketchbook Brewing Company in Evanston has great customer service, very informative servers. Cute and cozy, smaller is better in this case. Didn’t get the same attention in Skokie. Everyone is friendly and patient and helpful. My favorites are, Orange Door, the Beer for the soul and the E-town brown ale, will be back to try more special releases!“

“We had an amazing time here for our Honeymoon!!! Darrik was so hospitable and knew a lot about the beers on tap. The other staff were also very friendly and gave suggestions on where to eat breakfast (local only was what we wanted.) We came back for other food suggestions and ended up eating here and boy was it delicious. The smash burger had tones of flavor and so did my wife’s wrap. This is definitely a stop again and if you like local this is the place. I did sample some beers and if you are a micro brew guy and like IPA, they don’t disappoint. They are an easy walk off the Metra also so if you want to sip and dip, great choice!“

“Beers were great as expected. We were not impressed with the nachos. The meat was tasteless and hard to separate so lots of meat in a bite or no meat. The cheese sauce had a nice wang to it and chips were ok. Will try something different next time.“

“Loved the beer!!! Nice place and great people!!!“

“Tucked away in a business district is this local brewery! A small brewery offering a n interesting selection of beers My husband ordered a flight , including the Chingon- a Mexican Lager, Monarch Golden Lager, the Sad Thug, a sour , and an IPA. They have interesting options and the bartender was very nice, and we had a great conversation with him. Their beer is sold in a varirty of sore, including Woodman's which is a few minutes away. A very laid back, friendly brewery to try if you are in the area.“

“We tried Pho no. 1 Brewing tonight and we were really happy with it! We’ll be back again for sure! 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!“

“Good people with good behaviour. Came here for the first time to deliver. Feel free to grab an extra lane for turning right. Came here 2 am no traffic . Parked in the street. Uh can make a u turn from dead end. Restrooms available. Unloaded within half hour. Good experience.“

“I spent the day out with my two dogs hiking, adventuring, playing and I was STARVING. Chris at District Brew Yards went above and beyond to accommodate me as a solo patron with two (muddy) dogs. I can’t say how impressed I was with the service provided, food, and atmosphere. 100% I’ll be back.“

“Delicious beer and staff were really helpful with helping me pick which beer to drink!“

“Drove over an hour here because of the rave review my friend gave us to try the food here. Our server Maria was so friendly and welcoming.We started off with the cheese curds and the morning after is a must try appetizer. The truffle burger was delish and the salmon with the fingerling potaoes were amazzzing. Ace guava and frozen tundra are the beers we tried and they also did not disappoint.“

“Very food, good service , and pleasant casual atmosphere. I thought the menu would be coffee shop like based on the name ( eg sandwiches, soup etc) but it was so much more extensive and gourmet than I anticipated. My dining partner had the airplane ( or airline ?) chicken ( strange name but apparently that is a way to prepare chicken - it was totally excellent ) . I had the crab cake appetizer and a side salad- delicious. Back room is a small music event space. The other multiple rooms are bright and airy and totally not club like. Cool place. Great food and service. Definitely recommend!“

“Great food and drinks! Pizza empanadas are the best!“

“Great bar that is absolutely massive! Perfect for an event or watch party. Very fun atmosphere and the food is quite good too. I had a burger and fries which were good and the portion was huge. Large drink selection as well, including of course their brews.“
