Description
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.

On tap at Ravinia, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out a weird earthy character, along with straw and biscuity malt. Flavour has a strange character: there's some unfermented wort, herbal notes, and bready malt. Something didn't go quite right here.

On nitro tap at Maplewood, pours black with a large creamy tan head. Aroma is soft; with gentle lactose, cocoa, and a hint of oats. Flavour is much the same, with cocoa, lactose and oats. A bit haphazard in cohesion but nothing too harsh. It's alright.
