Breweries - Saturday, August 23, 2025

Black Horizon

Who are we? A small microbrewery with a taproom that turns out award-winning barrel-aged beer, rotating styles, and varieties. Three guys that turned their vision of opening a small community brewery into reality. What is Black Horizon? A straightforward concept: Every business wants to be in the black eventually, and that’s on our horizon. Black Horizon is about bringing every facet of beer culture, community, and people together to celebrate what we all love: handcrafted artisan beer.

Haymarket Brewing

We specialize in classic Belgian and contemporary American beer styles that emphasize hop flavor, not hop bitterness. 

Whether a crisp refreshing Pilsner, a Trappist-style ale, hoppy pale, Imperial IPA, hoppy Belgian or American Stout — you’ll find something to satisfy you at Haymarket Brewing. Our brewmaster Pete Crowley has won over 75 local, national and international brewing awards.

Hubbard's Cave

Hubbard's Cave Brewery was developed as an alternative to Une Annee's Belgian Style Ales. Producing American Style ales, primarily imperial stouts and Hubbard’s Cave signature Fresh IIPAs, Hubbard’s Cave is a refreshing addition to the Une Année Family. Named after the Chicago Hubbard Street traffic tunnel on Interstate 90/94, next to where the brewery was born, Hubbard’s Cave has quickly grown to produce some of their most popular offerings.  

Illuminated Brew Works

Illuminated Brew Works is a Chicago-based brewery producing beer  for interesting times. From big, hazy IPAs, to yeast-driven urban  farmhouses, adjunct-rich stouts and experimentally-driven sours and   fruit beers, their offerings rotate seasonally to celebrate the annual   cycle.  

Maplewood

The  first of its kind in Illinois to establish brewing and distilling roots  under a single roof, Maplewood has been producing finely crafted beer  and spirits out of Logan Square since 2014.

Mikerphone

Mikerphone Brewing is a family-owned small craft brewery located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.

Pipeworks Brewing

Pipeworks Brewing Co. opened in January 2012 by founders Beejay Oslon and Gerrit Lewis. They began their brewing different from other microbreweries in that they initially brewed their beers entirely as a series of 'one off'  beers that were aimed specifically to beer connoisseurs. This approach gave the brewery and its beers somewhat of a cult status among beer enthusiasts. Today, Pipeworks has augmented their one-off beers with several of its  'core' beers now regularly available in Chicago.  

Printer's Row Brewing

Printer's Row Brewing began in the South Loop neighborhood of Chicago in 2017. Their taproom is known for its selection of beers, including the 81 West IPA, Party Parrot wit, Out of Sorts brown ale, and Cannonball Porter. The brewery emphasizes a family-friendly and community-centric atmosphere.

Revolution Brewing

Between our brewery and our brewpub, we produce dozens of different beer styles every year. IPAs, porters, pilsners, Belgian-style ales, pale ales, barrel-aged beers—the list goes on. In 2017, Revolution Brewing became the 40th largest craft brewery and 50th largest overall brewery in the country. 

Une Annee

An Independent Craft Brewery, was born, in 2013, on the near west side of Chicago on Hubbard Street (near Hubbard’s Cave), with the quest of making fine Belgian inspired ales for all beer lovers.   

Une Année has expanded it’s offerings over the years with an emphasis on fruited and unfruited American Wild Ales (read: Sour Beers).  In 2017, the brewery moved to neighboring Chicago suburb, Niles, IL, and expanded to include a taproom.

Broda uses four real ingredients: Lemons, raw Michigan honey, ginger, and 7x distilled vodka. It has no preservatives or additives, and of course it’s made locally! It's terrific served straight on ice, heated up as a hot toddy, in tea, as a spritz (prosecco) or sangria (white or red wine), and makes a mean summer shandy (with a light beer).

Rush Creek Distillery

Four locals were having a few at the local tavern. They’d been talking new venture. Something unexpected. Something seriously fun. It would be a distillery. Dedicated to craftsmanship, and genuine craft distilling. An asset to the community. The decision was made. The partners were all in. Make it right or don’t make it at all. They knew Rush Creek Distilling could raise the bar. It takes an adventurous spirit to make an adventurous spirit!

Southside Gin Cocktail

You couldn't always get The Original Southside in a can—it hails from a time when liquor was illegal (and tasted horrible, too).  Notorious gangsters covered up the taste of bathtub gin with lemon and mint to create a delicious, refreshing cocktail that's been the secret recipe of countless families and bartenders since.  We're reviving cocktails lost to the throes of time, a "revival of the fittest" if you will. While you sip your Southside, you too can ponder its convoluted history and smile k

Whiskey Acres

Start with the finest grains grown on the best soils the earth has to offer. Add water naturally filtered by the limestone aquifer found deep under those same soils. Then complete the task by handcrafting a distilled spirit using the same hands of the fifth generation farmers who grew that grain. They know the land, their ingredients, and what it means to pay attention to detail. Blend together using equipment and know-how forged in the rolling hills of Kentucky. Add a little patience. 

WhistlePig

Once the leading American spirit, Rye Whiskey faded from popularity after prohibition ...until a dedicated crew of Rye enthusiasts settled in an unlikely place, turning a historic dairy barn into a world class whiskey distillery in remote Shoreham, Vermont, where we keep the things that make Rye great, throw out the rest, and constantly innovate to make whiskey our way.
