Microbrewery
in Chicago,
Illinois,
United States 🇺🇸
Associated Venue: Maplewood Brewery & Distillery
Established in 2014
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.

Can. Hazy, dirty yellow-brown/apricot body, thick off-white head. Earthy, pungent aroma of grassy/herbal tropical fruit juice. Earthy, creamy body, with earthy, slightly bitter/spicy papaya juice absent any tanginess. Substantial and quite good, if lacking that something extra.
