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.

Slightly soft carbonation with chewy body. Mild aromas. Really good hazy flavor that's citrusy and really good bittersweet. Very good drinking beer.

Shaker pint draft at Maloneys in Overland Park, Kansas. The pour is a clear golden with a foamy 1/2 inch white head. The aroma is soft clove, floral, coriander and wheat grain. The taste is the soft gentle wheat grain along with floral, coriander, lemon citrus and clove carrying the back. The palate is light bodied, with an unfiltered mouthfeel and a clean clove and herbal yeast finish. Super well made Wit.

Can. Poured a dark cola color with a small off-white head. Aroma was roasted malts, light coffee. Dark chocolate, roast. Malty and robust spiced grain. Liked this one.

16oz can shared. Never a big fan of a milk stout - this one is sweet, thick - too much for a drink
