Description
You can come get to know our beers and the people behind them at either of our two locations.

Our original brewery on Lincoln Avenue is home to our Brewery Shop, where you can sample or purchase to-go, and a Tap Room, where you can stay, get a bite to eat and get to know who we are and what we do. You can now also visit our new brewery, on Balmoral Avenue, where we have a beer garden in nice weather and a completely separate food program.

Both locations offer perennials Daisy Cutter, Bodem, Pony Pilsner and Tuna plus plenty of small batch beers released weekly.

Beer #39 of 42 at GTMW, 8-8-09. Getting very tired, it’s near the end of the drinking session. Dark, cloudy yellow color, big thick head. Smell has a lot of hops to it. Taste is a lot of fresh hops. Not dry-hopped or anything, I think, just very well hopped-up. Great effort for the first Half Acre beer I’ve been able to taste.

Beer #8 at MWBF, Aug. 2011. Draft pour. Hazy yellow pale ale, nice little foaminess to it. Very big catbox smell, which is how we like it. Very big, hoppy beer. Goes down very nicely.

A golden ale with a thin lacing white head. A nice orange pulp and mandarine and hops aroma, with nice cranberry notes. Not agressive. In mouth, a nice light pale ale with c-hops, pink grapefruit, a bit oily. Medium bodied. On tap at Jerry’s, Chicago, May 16 2009.
