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 brewery. Pours jet black with a thin tan head that clings to the glass. Aroma is chocolate, hazelnuts, coffee, coconut. Taste is a sweet hazelnut, chocolate, coffee and coconut hit. Just a faint hint if booze tempers the sweetness but still wonderfully balanced. Great stuff

16 oz can from my Mother in Law. 05/06/19 stamped on bottom of the can. The pour is a hazed yellow golden with a fizzy one inch white head that falls with splotchy lace. The aroma is mango citrus, orange peel, soft resin, and faint cereal malt. The taste is subdued fruit hops, citrus, floral and cereal grain malt towards the back. The palate is medium bodied, soft carbonation, unfiltered mouth feel and fruit finish. Solid.

Can pour into pub glass from Total Wine & More, Brentwood, MO. Appearance is deeply hazy dark yellow with decent sparkle, finger-width white foamy head, with trace lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, melon, grape, grapefruit, milder citrus and pineapple, light resinous pine. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, thin texture, average-to-lively carbonation and crisp finish as taste. Overall, pretty good. Sort of a juicy traditional American IPA or a NEIPA-light (not that I'm suggesting that be a style!).

Draught at Gezellig: pours opaque haze with a white head. Aroma is really intense DDH citrus and tropical fruitiness. Taste is really sweet. Super low bitterness. Quite fruity. Solid.
