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.

Draught @ Maplewood, Chicago. Sweetish, ripe juicy fruity and hoppy with some caramely malts, pine, citrus and tropical notes. Smooth and balanced.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is maybe some pine apple juice with a bit of peach. Flavor is a little peach and grapefruit with a moderate bitterness. Decent fruit although this is very light all around for the style. Decent east drinker, just needed a bit more oomph.

Pour is a clear golden with a large bubbly white head. Aroma is a decent cracker malt with some nice spicy hops. Flavor is a super dry cracker malt with a nice eye opening spicy herbal hop. Maybe a little light in body but crushable for sure.

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.
