“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.“
“The taproom itself was really spacious and had a relaxed atmosphere 🍺, although parking was pretty limited which made arriving a bit inconvenient 🚗 On a Friday night I expected it to be much busier, but surprisingly it was fairly quiet. One thing that stood out was an off-duty employee who seemed to have endless opinions about everything and talked nonstop 😅 Since he spent so much time chatting with the bartenders, the service ended up being slower than expected. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of most of the beers, but I did appreciate that they offered flights and smaller pours so you could sample different options before deciding 🍻 I still ended up grabbing a few cans to go and enjoyed trying something new 👍“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“

“Stopped in yesterday for a few drinks. Got to chat with the owner, eat some great local pizza from Billy Brick's, and sample some of the best beer Chicagoland has to offer. Right before we were going to head out, the owner had us sample their new offering Featherweight (which I definitely recommend). What's not to love?“
“I was in town visiting a friend of mine for the first time and he recommended this spot. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who showed us the beer menu and we were able to sit wherever we wanted. Thankfully the weather was nice enough for us to enjoy sitting outside on the patio. I tried a guest beer and a house crafted one and I must say they were both pretty good! I also treated me and my friend to some breadsticks and I super recommend them! The flavor and the crunch was perfect.
Honestly I couldn't have had a better time and you all should consider stopping by and enjoying the vibe and the beer. You won't be disappointed by the relaxed and fun atmosphere that has been created by the owner!“
“Crazy awesome quality on beers and great staff. Love to come hang and grab some cold ones to go to“
“Amazing local brewery! They are dog friendly, and have something to drink for everyone. I love their watermelon beers and local food pop ups. We went there to watch the World Cup games and got to enjoy some free Turkish food. 10/10 would recommend!“
“A delightful space with many beers“
“Big fan of this space. The interior is beautifully designed. The restroom alone is inspiration for my own restroom remodel at home. I love the deep green tile and warm up lighting from the wooden sconces. The rest interior is nicely appointed as well, live plants adorn the windows, sandal wood burned for a pleasing aroma from time to time, great atmospheric jazz music. Attention to detail is there.
Izzy was a fantastic host; knowledgeable, hospitable, kind and welcoming. We had a few beers, loved the cardamom infused beer. No complaints at all.
They had a selection of other eclectic consumables. From vintage playboy magazines, to high end Portuguese tinned fish, to craft soda, THC beverages and top notch beers with unique combinations and incredible depth of flavor, this place has it all.
It was a little less busy than I would have liked, as it is an incredible experience, I hope business is good overall and that they will be a fixture in the neighborhood and community for many years to come!“
“Great beers. Great service and friendly, knowledgeable staff at Dovetail.“
“This Bar and Pizzeria had been on my radar prior to leaving the UK, for a short break to Chicago to watch AC/DC. Kev and I weren't disappointed! Great hospitality, a wide selection of beers made on site and a 'cup and char' pizza to die for. Topped off with hot honey, it's one of the best pizzas I've tried. The 'Tommy o two legs' was my beer of choice with most having quirky names inspired by the friendly staff. A great location to visit and one that will be fondly remembered. Keep doing what you do and thanks for the stickers! Cheers Rod & Kev 🇬🇧“
“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.“

“Crust Brewing is a great neighborhood spot. I mostly go for their selection of beer, but I come back for the conversation. The staff is very friendly, we always end up staying longer than planned when Angie is behind the bar lol. They claim their pizza is the best but I’d tell you to get the Smash Burger. Definitely worth stopping in, tell Angie hello!“
“They've got something for everybody, for every palette. Lately, my favorite brewery.“

“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!“

“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!“
