Breweries -Saturday, September 28, 2024

Mikerphone

Mikerphone Brewing is a family-owned small craft brewery located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois. Founded as from a passion for home-brewing, Mike and Lisa Pallen started the concept of a brewery inspired by music out of their basement. In 2015, Mikerphone Brewing was awarded Best New Brewery in Illinois by Ratebeer as well as One of the Best New Breweries in the World by Beer Advocate Magazine.

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.

Illuminated Brew Works

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.

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.

More Brewing

More Brewing Company is a craft brewery located just West of Chicago in Villa Park, IL. We specialize in juicy IPAs, sours and  stouts.

Sketchbook Brewing

Sketchbook is passionate about exploring traditional recipes--hefeweizens, saisons, pilsners, and stouts for example--while also changing it up and exploring hybrids. You can almost always count on finding some lower alcohol beers in our Tap Room, where you can sample via flights or sipping small pours.

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. 

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.  

Shortfuse Brewing Company

Located  in the Village of Schiller Park, Illinois, Short Fuse Brewing Company  is a production brewery and taproom with a full kitchen. We  craft our beer on a 30 barrel brewhouse and 30 barrel fermentors. We  also will feature a large barrel program for aging beers. In addition,  we are one of a few breweries in Illinois to feature two 30 barrel foeders. A Foeder is a giant oak vat typically used to age wine, but  recently beer breweries have started using them.

Distilleries - Saturday, September 28, 2024

FEW Spirits

INSPIRED BY PRE-PROHIBITION TIMES, THE GOLDEN AGE OF SPIRITS. EXPERIENCE OUR HANDCRAFTED, SMALL-BATCH SPIRITS, BORN IN THE HOME OF  TEMPERANCE.

Wolf Point Distilling

Wolf Point Distilling is a Chicago-based craft distillery specializing in high-quality, small-batch spirits. Each spirit is inspired by famed stories from Chicago history, with detailed, hand-drawn illustrations that bring these tales to life on the bottle. We craft small-batch bourbon, rye whiskey, gin, vodka, and specialty infusions. Each spirit is methodically designed on a smaller scale to ensure quality and taste.

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. 

Two Eagles Distillery

Two Eagles Distillery, founded in 2017, is the passion project of three friends with a thirst for finely crafted spirits and a simple belief that quality matters.  We’re very proud to be the first Distillery in Mount Prospect, a near suburb of Chicago, Illinois. Beginning with our  flagship offering, 100 Mile Vodka®, Two Eagles is focused on creating  the highest quality spirits and beverages, sourcing local ingredients and listening to the wants of our clients and the community.

Chicago Cane Cooperative

Chicago Cane Cooperative is one of the first worker-owned spirits  producers in the world. We focus on the creation of rum-based spirits  that inspire collective action toward a more sustainable and transparent  liquor industry. 

Lamassu Arak

A favorite for all occasions, Lamau Arak is 100 proof and distilled six times for the smoothest tasting, anise flavored drink on the market today. Some of America’s top chefs use arak for cooking and somoliers use it as a base for some of the most intriguing cocktails. Join the traditionalists and the modern food and drink professionals and try Lamassu Arak.

Broda

Broda is based on a generational Polish family recipe. The recipe has been handed down from generation to generation. 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).

Take Flight Spirits

We’re a craft distillery in Skokie, IL, specializing in small-batch distillations of your favorite spirits. Our goal is to bring you imaginative twists on the classics, using the best ingredients available. By focusing on small runs of each spirit, we can easily adapt our recipes to find the perfect blend.

Cider & Mead - Saturday, September 28, 2024

Unpossible Mead is a hidden gem just off Route 66 in quiet downtown Dwight, IL.  Since 2018, we have racked up dozens of awards for our meads.  We focus on full-flavored session meads as well as traditional and barrel aged meads. Our tongue in cheek trademark is “Booze from Bees.” We know booze doesn’t actually come from bees :)

ERIS

ERIS was inspired by the Greek goddess known for causing mayhem. As the story goes, Eris threw the golden apple of discord into a party that she wasn’t invited to, creating chaos as everyone scrambled for its beauty. As cider makers in a city of over 100 breweries and women in a male-dominated industry, we know what it’s like not to be invited to the party. That’s why we focus on inclusivity, approachability, and accessibility in everything we do.
