15 Best Craft Breweries near Itasca

“I’m from out of town and maybe stop here 3x a year and bartender always knows I want a BA beer and a Buffalo chicken pizza!!!!!“

“I passed by this place all the time it's super low-key too, went there yesterday with my friends had me Sinberry sour ale I think, and I also had me the orange creamsicle hard seltzer, and I'm not a big fan of hard Seltzer's, but this orange creamsicle was outstandingly good, I never had me a hard Seltzer with so much flavor, and Sinberry was decent, but the aftertaste was amazing, the female bartender that was back there was very nice and very professional, she would always check if everything was good and that we had everything we needed, or if we needed anything more, overall good experience and good service, will definitely come back here with my friends if not myself to try the $14 testers“

“I recently discovered this place about a month ago, I love that they offer a variety of brews as many times you'll find that a brewery will focus on or put an emphasis on one particular style, but here there is just about something for everyone. The inside is very spacious with a large bar seating area as well as many tables. Regarding food options, I haven't tried anything yet, but I know that they have paired with the restaurant next door and the menu options look great. I love a good porter so my new favorite beer so far has to be the Dirt Mouth Porter, it's amazing. I look forward to becoming a regular“

“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“

“Great brew, knowledgeable staff, and comfortable atmosphere.“

“Love love this place. Their beers are phenomenal especially the milkshake ones“

“beautiful location for your private events!“

“Great beers (as usual). Tonight’s review is for the featured “food truck” experience the Counting Crow. Full disclosure, we have never tasted CC prior, although online it looks like they regularly service most of the top Independent craft brewers for some time throughout suburban Chicagoland. Given their excellent reviews, was excited to taste. Nope. Didn’t realize their posted 5-7 limited quantities meant exactly that. By 6:00 pm on a warm busy spring Friday evening, CC was already sold out of 2/3rds of their (flash heated on a table top griddle) menu of Pork belly tacos and Shrimp po’boys (on a Friday, in lent)? Which only left the many hungry to enjoy their signature chicken sandwich (original, medium spicy and extra spicy) served with chips. While the sourcing of their chicken breasts (decent size/texture meaty and fried well) was good, their temperature plated was lukewarm and underwhelming. Maybe a pop up on the patio isn’t the best way to promote your food, Idk. Not a fan and can’t recommend. Definitely won’t go out of my way to sample again“

“👍A friendly warm atmosphere, nice place to have a beer and watch a game.“

“What a hidden gem that’s not so hidden anymore. Staff is beyond accommodating and beers are some of the best around with a ginormous selection. Patio is huge and everything is SUPER clean! 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 🍻“

“Our waitress Alyssa was wonder! Had the prime rib and it was cooked to perfection. Great atmosphere to sit and enjoy good food and friends! Highly recommend to go and try it!“

“Great brewery. Good selection of their own and a lot of good guest beers available. You'll find something you'll like. Along with wine and spirits. Great atmosphere and friendly staff and patrons. Worth a visit for sure.

Parking: Easy and a lot.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's accessible.“

“Good beer. Good atmosphere. Great service“

“The food was so amazing, as well as our server Hally! Such a sweet person. Absolutely loved the Turkey Overlake and my friend absolutely devoured the Bison Burger saying it was the best burger she ever had. Thank you!!“

“I threw a small party in the Hops room this past weekend and it was great! We had a great server and delicious pizza, apps and drinks!“
