About
Maplewood opened with the mission to push liquid boundaries in an unassuming building nestled in Chicago’s historic Logan Square neighborhood.

The first of its kind to establish brewing and distilling roots under a single roof, Maplewood has been producing finely crafted beer and spirits out of their 10BBL brewhouse and 250L Kothe hybrid still since 2014. Three years after moving into the production facility, Maplewood opened the Lounge, a neighborhood bar doubling as a cocktail parlor and brewery taproom. Beginning commercial distribution throughout Illinois shortly after settling into the Logan Square space, Maplewood has since expanded their distribution footprint into Missouri, SW Michigan, Northern Indiana, Wisconsin and Kansas. Maplewood’s patrons have come to expect expertly crafted beer in a wide range of styles.

Black pour. Thin tan head around the rim. Dark chocolate flavor with vanilla notes and oak finish. Bit of nut flavor on the palate. Very nicely balanced.

Gold, thin head, clean and biscuity, with some firm alcohol in there as well. A touch of onion but more the alcohol being heavy-handed.

Gold, not much head. Flat and dull-looking. Nice herbal, lychee and sauvin nz hop character. Flat, though, and that hampers the malt expression. Moderate bitterness. A better pour helps this.

Very pale with a slight haze. Spruce is a fun add. Base grisette is light, mild bugs, slightly husky malt.

Dark brown and inky. Aroma is big - lots of sweet brown sugar malts and also a lot of roughish barrel…wild turkey is never smooth but it’s never as harsh as you expect it to be. Similar palate…demerara sugar and wild turkey, as good as the rough stuff can be.
