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.

Pour is a clear brown with a large white head. Aroma is a nice toasted bread with some chocolate malt. Flavor is honey on toasted whole wheat bread. A little bitterness comes out on the back end. Not a traditional vienna but tasty none the less.

19 September 2022. At Chicago Brewhouse Riverwalk. Shared with the lovely Anke!

Hazy yellow, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of fresh guava, peach, tangerine, passion fruit, dough, yoghurt, orange juice, shallot. Taste has sweet peach & tangerine, sourish guava & lime over oaty, doughy maltiness. Softly bitter finish of earthy, grapefruity hops, lingering citrus pith and juicy stonefruit. Medium to full body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. Excellent stuff, so fresh, juicy yet balanced.
