11 Best Craft Breweries near Schaumburg

“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!!“

“Wow wow wow. Beer is great. I’ve tried every beer on the menu all very good. I’ve tried a lot of brewery’s near the Barrington area this is by far the best. Service. Beer. Ambiance. 10/10. The First Fruits beer is OMG.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!“

“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 🍻“

“We used Buffalo Creek Brewing for a celebration of life for our brother. Owner Mike was very easy to work with and helpful in letting us view the event space upstairs several times to plan the event. The per-person price includes unlimited drinks, both from their large beer menu and a number of tasty non-alcoholic options. There's a large TV screen in the upstairs event room that we used to show pictures. A microphone let us tap into the sound system for speeches for the group. We were very pleased with how the event turned out and would use this space again for any similar event.“

“A little disappointed tonight the burger was not as good as usual and service could have been better. Mostly they need to install acoustics way to noisy you can hardly hear or enjoy a conversation.“

“12/3/25 night Brother from Texas and me. Fantastic Bar, best small town drinking place, “Great” Selections. Scott the Bartender is very personable/funny almost like someone I would hang out with. We group of 4 went Lunar Brewing couple of times 20 years ago, my brother and been talking about coming back. Today after leaving noisy,yuppy, pricy Yardhouse. We opted to Lunar, now I found new pub to spend our weekend chilly brewing after 30 years @ Brixies Saloon (Brookfield) which personally closed to me in 2017. I reside in Romeoville/ Plainfield since 2004. Nothing out there, Really“

“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!“

“Good beer. Good atmosphere. Great service“
