Good Morning Munich

An ode to the everyday beer of Bavaria, where the locals prefer drinking their lager rather than talking about it. Easy-drinking with a creamy white head, sweet cracker-like taste, and fresh, noble hop character

Brother Chimp Brewing

Shimpansenfest

Brewed with 100% German malted barley and hops. This beer spent over a month in our horizontal lagering tanks for an optimally smooth, malt-forward flavor and a crisp finish. It is copper in hue, leading with a bold toasted malt profile and subtle aromas of noble German hops.

Smile

English Brown Ale brewed with vanilla and cold brew coffee. We start with a traditional brown ale, concocted with the finest English malts for a toasty, nutty base with a hint of malty sweetness. We add in Solo Roast Black Eagle, a Nicaraguan organic coffee, with notes of molasses, caramel and concord grape, and a touch of vanilla. The result is a dark brown, medium-bodied ale that’s full of harmonious flavor, with a smooth finish.

More Brewing

Bartlett Maibock

Bartlett Maibock is our latest lager that pays homage to our future taproom in the heart of downtown Bartlett. This German-Style Maibock balances the rich, bready malt core with assertive hops for a dry and celebratory finish. Like other springtime beers, the hop character is balanced toward floral and earthy making it a bold and lively lager that’s worth celebrating with your friends and family.

Loose Candies

This seasonal DDH DIPA is loaded with a haunting amount of Citra, El Dorado, and Vic Secret hops for a rich party bowl of sweet treats. Notes of candied mango slices, violet jujubees, crystalized honey, and CBD-infused gummy bears that are all enswathed in a murky body of lush haze.

Nik & Ivy Brewing

1853

Cream ales first started being brewed sometime in the mid-1800s and Lockport was incorporated in the mid-1800s (1853 to be exact) so with the two being so close, we couldn’t pass up on making that connection. “1853” is light and crisp with a smooth vanilla aroma and taste. This beer finishes with just enough hop bitterness to balance it out and remind you that it is a beer.

Locktoberfest

Clean, balanced, malty lager with a warm toasty aroma. This beer finishes dry and will leave you wanting another sip. PROST!

Pollyanna Brewing

Lexical Gap

Brewed with massive amounts of Citra, Centennial, Simcoe, and Columbus hops, finding a word to describe your gratification might be pretty tough. Most expletives, however, will probably suffice.

1899

An easy-drinking Blonde Ale brewed exclusively for Jewel Osco. Brewed with American 2 Row malt, Honey Malt, and Flaked Oats, a light Citra hopping in the whirlpool keeps this beer easy to drink and crips with a pleasant melon and citrus hopping.

Revolution Brewing

Oktoberfest

This long-lagered beauty uses traditional German ingredients and methods. Smooth, toasty flavor and the inviting aromas of hearth-baked bread, finishing with just enough Noble hop character to keep you coming back for another round. One of our most popular food-pairing beers, or worthy of a hearty “Prost!” on its own.

Freedom Lemonade

The bright sweetness of real lemons converges with pure cane sugar for a refreshingly tart finish.

Riverlands Brewing

Volturnus

American DIPA with Simcoe, Citra, Centennial, and CTZ hops. Named for the Roman god of rivers, Volturnus is a modern American DIPA. This means that this beer finishes dry with a bitter backbone, but still has huge aromas and flavors of bright citrus and tropical fruits. Light in body and hides its ABV well.

Karma Collision

Brewed with Riwaka and Citra hops.

Kiwi Burrow

Keller (unfiltered) Pilsner uses only 100% New Zealand hops.

Orange Door

A serious IPA with tons of dry hop character bringing citrus and piney aromas on a beautiful malt backbone. Dry hopped twice for bold grapefruit and other citrus flavors that are contrasted by the malt sweetness.

Pinky Sweater

This beer has a dry, cleansing finish that is smooth, crisp and the most refreshing thing you’ll drink all year!

Sunset Soda Company (non-alcoholic)

Short Shorts

Poolside

This summer soda is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s straight or mixed with your favorite spirit! One way we pack so much flavor in each bottle is by peeling by hand each citrus fruit and adding them back to our kettle to unlock those wonderful oils. All natural ingredients. No preservatives & low sugar content.

Tighthead Brewing

Longsnapper

The beer has an ample base and Vienna malt accented by caramel notes from Karastan and Munich malts. Hopped with a trio of traditional northwest hops, Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial that create a well-balanced, crushable beer. Brewed in collaboration with longsnapper Patrick Mannelly, the longest-tenured player in Chicago Bears history.
