“Busy brewery somewhat off the beaten path. I had not had a chance to make out here previously but specifically made the trip. Busy dog and kid family brewery, the neighborhood seemed to be out to enjoy themselves on an early weekend evening. We found room at the bar and had a couple of drinks. I enjoyed the pils and lager I had. Both were clean and easily drinkable. It was fairly loud with dogs and families but we were still able to converse comfortably. Staff was friendly and attentive.“
“2026 Chicago Brewery Journey – Fourth Stop
Stopped by Maplewood Brewery & Distillery and it’s clear right away this place is popular—very lively with a strong crowd and a great energy throughout. The beer selection is extensive, so there’s plenty to choose from.
One interesting note—the space had a noticeable coffee aroma. Not a bad smell by any means, but a little unexpected when you’re there for beer.
Overall, a fun and energetic stop with a lot to offer.“
“2026 Chicago Brewery Journey – Third Stop
Made my way to Revolution Brewing – Brewery & Taproom, and as expected from a well-established Chicago staple, the selection did not disappoint. There’s a wide range of beers to choose from, and the Hero Flight was a great way to sample several—definitely lived up to the name and had me feeling pretty hoppy.
The space is huge, with plenty of room to spread out, making it a great spot whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or hanging out for a while.
A reliable stop with lots to offer and easy to see why it’s such a big name in Chicago.“
“Great beers Great atmosphere. Friendly staff!!“
“Attended an event here! The staff were incredible, clean and accessible. Kid and dog friendly! We had a fabulous time and can't wait to return for another event! Thanks for everything!“
“Crazy awesome quality on beers and great staff. Love to come hang and grab some cold ones to go to“
“Suncatcher is The Place To Be.
Everyone working is friendly and knowledgeable. As a neighbor, I’m happy to have them. It’s a great gathering place to see a few friends, or a sunny time to spend by yourself.
As a beer drinker, I’m pleased at what Chicago has to offer and Suncatcher is in my top 3.
As a hoosier at heart, I love that they use Indiana malt.
Rog is the man.“
“Hopewell has such a cute vibe! I loved the fact that they had a large selection of games for passing your time there as you enjoy the beer. The Lil Buddy was perfect. Just a little something. They also had super friendly bartender who was kind enough to give me a few stickers. I collect enamel pins, so was glad to buy one of those from the merch.“

“Great cider family and pet friendly“
“Kinslahger is like no other bar place / bar / local in the area. The lack of TV forces you to engage in conversation, and the staff are particularly helpful in steering patrons to choices they might not think of originally but end up appreciating. They’re a one-of-a-kind establishment with a one-of-a-kind staff, and you won’t be disappointed in your visit.“
“Good rotating beer selection. The have a nice fenced in back patio open during god weather, and large windows that will open for the main bar.
The brewery also schedules lots of fun events, game nights, etc. And they’re a great part of the community.“
“I passed this place 3 times trying to find it. It's very unassuming, but I was on a mission to finally stop in. It was early and I was the only customer. I chatted with the bartender between sips and reading. I had the Marz and probably the tiger, but can't really remember. I remember them both being good, which is all that matters. They have a decent selection on tap, cans, bottles and cocktails. Again I was there solo, but the vibe from the bartender and space was legit. Kind of reminds me of Half Acres old location before they moved to expand. Hopefully they'll have a similar experience.“
“A delightful space with many beers“
“2026 Chicago Brewery Journey – Second Stop.
Stopped by Lake Effect Brewery as part of my Chicago brewery journey. They have a nice space with plenty of room, and you can tell they’re just getting started.
The beer selection is pretty limited at the moment, and I was hoping to find a solid IPA—which is something currently missing from the lineup.
That said, every brewery has to start somewhere, and there’s definitely potential here. I’d be interested in coming back down the road to see how things develop.“
“Great beers. Great service and friendly, knowledgeable staff at Dovetail.“
“I just saw the way Off Color Brewing took care of a family of ducks and I think that a staff who would go completely out of their way to help the wildlife in their area survive should be commended to the fullest. Thank you for being such wonderful humans!!!“
“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“
“I'm from out of town, and had some great beer! Definitely would come back.“

“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!“

“When my husband and I walked in it was not welcoming at all. It felt like if the whole restaurant turned to look at 2 aliens that they never seen before (we are latino). Then the young hostess girl asked me how she can help me, like if I was lost, I told her table for 2, she then told me that they were short staffed and it was going to take a long time to get served and if I still wanted to stay. I really felt like leaving but we stayed. I'm so glad we stayed because the waitress was really kind to us and the beers and food were delicious!“

“We had a great time at this family-friendly brewery! The atmosphere was relaxed, and there was plenty of outdoor seating where the kids could play while we enjoyed some delicious craft beer.
They even had board games and kid-friendly, which made it easy for everyone to have fun. A perfect spot to unwind and enjoy quality time together. We'll definitely be back!“
