Haymarket Pub & Brewery
Microbrewery
in Chicago,
Illinois,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated with 2 Venues
Established in 2010
After many years of brewing and the many awards that have adorned Haymarket Beer, Peter L. Crowley understands a thing or two of what makes a great beer. We named our company – Haymarket Beer Company – in honor of those ideas and the people who took pride in them and worked hard to protect them. (That’s a great story, by the way, and you should read more about it.)
We’ve built Haymarket out of everyday people – office workers and school teachers, stonemasons and police officers, plumbers and postal workers – with one promise: making great beer for great beer drinkers. It means that even as we grow, that we never lose sight of what got us where we are today – each other.
Forgive us for getting mushy – this kind of stuff doesn’t come out well through a computer screen. Come and see us the next time you’re in town. We’ll show you what we mean.

Each beer I've sampled from Haymarket's new packaged line has been slightly deeper in color than the one before. Aleister, coming after the Speakerswagon and the Oscar's Pardon, pours a brassy color, with a slightly yellowish foamy head. This looks like it has the same proportion of Amarillo as the Oscar's Pardon. Bitterness is rather mild here, plays up pine resin. Strong malty background plays well with the hops. Unlike many American pale ales, this one strives for balance.

32oz growler pours with a deep dark black body that supports a mocha colored head. The aroma offers up chocolate brownie, spicy black strap molasses, chocolate and then some heat from the boozy barrel treatment. The taste delivers rich chocolate, dark roasted malts, spicy oak barrel, spicy black strap molasses, and then smooth sweet Bourbon barrel notes. Solid rich brew. Terrific sipper.
