Things to do in Chicago, Illinois (IL): The Best Breweries
The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

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

No matter where you live, what you do, or what walk of life you come from, Haymarket Brewing has a seat at the bar and a beer for you. We opened our brewery with a simple philosophy: make the highest quality beer we possibly can, and deliver it as fresh as we possibly can. It’s worked out pretty well so far. Our brewmaster Pete Crowley has won over 50 local, national and international brewing awards. Trust us when we say: our beers must be tasted to be believed. And we’ve combined those beers with probably the City’s best, most inventive made-from-scratch bar food. Add in a welcoming, festive atmosphere and the result is one of Chicago’s great casual brewpub experiences.
