Join us as we visit one of our fave cities, the wonderful Chicago, Illinois. A great drinking city, Chicago is full of history, architecture, culture, food, art, and in recent years, a thriving local craft beer scene. We visit 16 beer spots during this trip, including breweries in Wicker Park, Logan Square, Ravenswood (Malt Row), West Loop, and more. It’s a city that should be high on your beer list!
Here’s a map of the 16 spots we visited in Chicago including Half Acre, Dovetail, Revolution, Maplewood, Cruz Blanca, and more. Find even more at the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild!
Note: As reported in Block Club Chicago, Rock Bottom closed in January 2023. We were glad to be able to visit during our A Quick Beer tour.
