Awesome little spot in Lakeview that has amazing beer and great burritos to compliment! I try to make it up here regularly for the growler fills from the attached retail shop but will stop by the taproom from time to time. It is pretty small and it fills up in a hurry so keep that in mind if you are planning to visit on a weekend. One of my all time favorite beers is one of their seasonals - Gone Away, but they have many other great offerings such as Vallejo, Tuna, Daisy Cutter (and its variations), and a variety of limited releases, many of which are excusive to this spot.

Stopped here for a quick taste at the end of a business convention. Only a block away from the McCormick. Had a Dry Humor, a quite well made Belgian and awesomely refreshing! Met some very nice locals and the bruameister Frank, who was very cordial and engaging. Only checked out the tasting room as the main room was booked for a private event but I will stop by again the next time I am in Chicago. Highly recommended for beer nerds and their friends!!

Our party of 3 enjoyed our one hour tour with about 7 others on a Saturday PM with Grace, our tour guide. Grace was very informative and we learned a lot, although at times it was hard to hear her in the production area. We did get to sample 3 or 4 beers , Paper Umbrella, Matilda, and Sofie (Parise) We all got a complimentary beer glass as well... We stayed for a beer at Tap Room which was busy, and bought some packed goods for home--An enjoyable day
