Cool little neighborhood spot. Beers are on point! Really good showing of some lager beers, which is nice when so many other breweries in Chicago insist on only brewing ales. Picked up a couple of 4 packs to take home with us. Will keep coming back.

This is my favorite brewery in Chicago. The beer is well made and balanced, the staff is AMAZING. They're genuinely great people, and knowledgeable and passionate about what they do and truly care about their customers. Great ambiance, large open space, and they are incredibly supportive of their community.

Service was great. They had no food that's why it's at zero. Everything was safe and they stressed the importance of safety.

It didn’t feel like the taproom was ready to be opened just yet. Having to place your own glasses in the bin was a bit much. Also a different table to pick up beer. Felt weird. Rushed with time. Understandable as the process is new.
