New entry in the Guide in 2020
The following are new entries in the Guide for 2020.
5417 N Oakley Avenue, Hammond 46320 Just a short ride outside of Chicago in NW Indiana is 18th Street Brewery. Super talented brewers with a kitchen to match.
Close to 50 breweries in Chicago proper but if you choose just outside the number almost triples. Next door is their distillery. I believe Sour Note Brewing, also in Hammond Indiana is related to 18 St. Make the trip, you'll not be disappointed. Can also combine with a stop at Three Floyds in Munster, Indiana. Fairly close by. |  |

4727 W Montrose Ave C, Chicago 60641 Open fore now but look for their move to a new space with brewing and a taproom towards the beginning of nest year.
Somehow have missed this place. Been in this off the beaten path(and down the alley) location for 8 plus years. It is a bottle shop and production facility. they make an IPA but the specialty appears to be wilds and sours, stouts and Belgian styles. I sampled a couple of their beers and all were delicious. Make your way over there and buy some beer. Also available in beer shops. |  |

6343 Gross Point Road, Niles 60714 Great Brewery, actually two in one. Une Année captures the essence of what Belgium beer is as good or better than anywhere I have been.
Hubbard's Cave includes IPA's and Stouts to name but a couple. Always worth the journey and the journey from Chicago is about to get a bit shorter as the move to a new
facility is imminent. This is the first brewery/taptroom included in this Chicago guide because it is worth the effort.
In addition to the taproom there will now be barbecue centric food. Huge list of beers to go. Make the effort. You will be glad you did. |  |

5121 N Ravenswood Ave, Chicago 60640 Formerly Urban Renewal Brewery is a growing entity that produces some very tasty brews. Over the summer of 2020 they had two small tables set out for onsite tasting. Now they have taken over Koval Distillery's space and opened a full Brewpub. Great beers and great people! Check it out! |  |
