14 Best Craft Breweries near Wheeling

Having liquid love move in recently was a big plus for them. They have great beers. I hope to see a stand alone liquid love again soon.“

“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 went to Buffalo Creek this past weekend. I’ve never written an online review before but I felt like I had to based on this awesome night! Helene was our bartender and made the entire experience a blast! She was super witty and knowledgeable and took my girls night out to the next level. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! While I would prefer a place that had a cocktail menu, I will absolutely be back!!!!!! If they have an employee of the month Helene should absolutely be it!“

“Located in the heart of Highwood is Broken Tee, a great brewery with an amazing selection of beer and food. There are two rooms with plenty of seating, even a few couches for larger groups. There is also a nice outdoor seating outside the perimeter of the brewery. The staff are friendly and always helpful when trying to select one of their many fine brews. Great place to start a fun night in Highwood. Parking is a little tricky so come early if you’re meeting someone.“
