19 Best Craft Breweries near Des Plaines

“Nice, very tiny place. Good beer. Seating is not the most comfortable, lots of backless bar stools and small tables. Within the location is a business where they press cremated ashes into diamonds. Fine. But then brewery stuff is stored in the dead people processing partitioned space. I don't get it.“

“This has quickly become our favorite neighborhood business. Staff is super friendly, beer is great! Dog and kid friendly. If you haven’t been, get yourself there.“

“Yummy beer, welcoming atmosphere!“

“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 recently had the pleasure of experiencing Kalee's service, and I was incredibly impressed!Kalee was friendly, professional and , attentive .Kalee knowledge about micro beer ? was particularly helpful.Overall, Kalee's service was exceptional. She made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable.“

“Some of the best spontaneous beers around. Each time I come to Chicago, this has become a must stop. Billy has served me multiple times and always made me feel welcome. If you like tart, funky, but still easy to drink beer, give em a shot. Brew more table beer please ?“

“We hosted our baby shower at church street, and it was amazing. Everyone loved the atmosphere. We worked with Jace before, during, and after the event. The food was amazing, I did not receive a single complaint from my very picky family members, they all agreed it was amazing. The guest enjoyed the beer and we even did a growler with a beer of choice as one of diapers raffle gifts and it was the most popular one! I am so happy we hosted our event here, it went so smooth and hassle free. I will definitely be hosting events again here in the future!“

“I absolutely love More Brewing! This location is awesome. Always excellent service and good vibes. I prefer to sit at the bar and we're always treated very well by the staff. I'm in love with their beers! There isn't a beer I tried that I haven't liked. Then again, I'm not picky when it comes to good beer. I really enjoy fruity sours and they have some incredibly good ones. Their variety of beers in general makes coming here worth it every time. Their beer flights are reasonable and the way to go. You get 4 beers in 5oz glasses and they'll have you feeling pretty good. Their food is way better than I expected. First time I came here with a friend, we were both happy with the menu options and food quality. Better than the food menu at Bartlett (never been to their Huntley location). We both ordered the quesabirria tacos and they were delicious!! Tonight, I came here with my boyfriend and ordered the pork belly tacos. They were really good. Had some of their fries too and they're crunchy and perfect. I look forward to returning again and again. I plan on buying some of their 4 packs of beer next time as well.“

“"Sketchbook Brewing Co. absolutely knocks it out of the park with their exceptional customer service and phenomenal beer! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel right at home. And let's talk about the beer - every pint I had was expertly crafted and bursting with flavor. I'll be back again and again! 5/5 stars, highly recommended!"“

“Lunar Brewing Company is located in suburban Villa Park. My love and I would normally not be anywhere near Villa Park, but we tagged along with our friends for an eats-and-drinks excursion in the 'burbs earlier this summer. We stopped in for some drinks here, and there is an extensive list of beverages to choose from. The interior is plastered with all sorts of beer memorabilia and other random fun things. Check out Lunar Brewing for easygoing good times if you are in the area.“

“Great beer. Great staff. Great live music.“

“We had an amazing time here for our Honeymoon!!! Darrik was so hospitable and knew a lot about the beers on tap. The other staff were also very friendly and gave suggestions on where to eat breakfast (local only was what we wanted.) We came back for other food suggestions and ended up eating here and boy was it delicious. The smash burger had tones of flavor and so did my wife’s wrap. This is definitely a stop again and if you like local this is the place. I did sample some beers and if you are a micro brew guy and like IPA, they don’t disappoint. They are an easy walk off the Metra also so if you want to sip and dip, great choice!“

“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!“

“Stopped in with my teenager. They had kids friendly drinks that she loved. Ordered pizza it was great. And yes the craft beer is excellent. Everything it sampled tasted was fantastic. If you are in the area and love craft beer, this is a great place to stop in and enjoy a beer, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“I spent the day out with my two dogs hiking, adventuring, playing and I was STARVING. Chris at District Brew Yards went above and beyond to accommodate me as a solo patron with two (muddy) dogs. I can’t say how impressed I was with the service provided, food, and atmosphere. 100% I’ll be back.“
