It adds a certain charm that newer shiny places can't match. Has a pretty good variety in the draft list. The prices are pretty good for being local and making smaller batches of stuff. A lot here to drink. It's both a brewery and distillery, which is an interesting process. This means you can get something with hops, or something less filling and smoother. Has plenty of room inside if there's not some party going on. It's about $6 a pint. A way to be charitable is to pay a few more bucks to get the Ability Amber. This is an amber ale, of which the proceeds benefits Project Mobility, which gives bicycles to disabled children. This has notes of plum and raisin. Has a kitchen but food is limited. There's often a food truck out front where you can get things like chips for $2, lobster rolls, and more. Good place to get locally made beers and liquors. It's closed Mondays. They often have food trucks.

We came in for the tour on a Sunday and it turned out to be a private tour with Amanda. The tour…read morewas more of a conversation and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Amanda's energy and passion was outstanding. The tour was about 45 minutes and includes a tasting flight. Since I do not drink bourbon, they allowed my to substitute a drink. There were so many options that I was interested in trying, but after discussing what I like with Amanda, she suggested the Lavender Haze. The lavender syrup is made in house and was sweet, with a floral taste . The drink was excellent. They have open mic nights and live music. They are expanding into the adjacent space in the next few months. It was interesting to hear all of the logistics involved in moving equipment into the new space. We will be back !

We also got a quick tour from Mitch, who was incredibly knowledgeable and kept things fun with plenty of dad jokes. The tour included a tasting, but I was doing Dry January, so I didn't participate and it still felt like a great experience. Mitch did an awesome job explaining everything, including the ABCs of bourbon: American made, aged in a Barrel, and at least 51% Corn, in a way that was easy to follow even if you're not drinking. Between the tour, the class, and the overall vibe, it was a unique and enjoyable outing. I'd definitely go back for another event or class (and maybe a tasting next time!).

I went here with family to take a free tour during the Open House Chicago weekend. The tour briefly described that they are a woman-owned business, their brewing process, and ended with a tasting. The two drinks I tried were the whiskey and cranberry gin.

Our bartender was very friendly and responsive to our requests! We both ordered the Smoked Old Fashioned, which came in an elaborate and entertaining display!
