Visited in Feb 2026. High scale farm to table restaurant and brewery in Chicagoland. The first thing that attracts attention is the greenhouse with herbs next to the brewpub. They had an impressive food menu, 10 beers on tap with flights and growlers/crowlers to go. There was an equally impressive wall of whiskeys. The beers were good, the food was upscale.

Visited in Nov 2025. Very small brewery and taproom on the corner of an alley. A few tables outside on the patio. It was very crowded when I visited due to a pub crawl but soon the crowd left. 8 beers on tap, some snacks, no food. Neighbourhood type place with board games, etc. The beers are fine.
