    a glass of beer
    Kathy F.

    it gives you the feel of hanging out with your buddies in the basement or garage... just give you a feeling like your home 12 beers on tap which is a good selection to choose from . Even with a good size crowd the bartender was quick to take your order with a smile . You will find the classic shuffle board game and a old pinball machine.

    My memory seems to fade about experience details at breweries. Seeing as I've been to a couple hundred of them, take that into consideration. D and G sat on my to-do list for awhile. The Fox River/Kane between Oswego and St. Charles had little to offer in the way of breweries until a few years ago, and then all of the sudden they were everywhere. D and G is in the upper part of that class. It's tucked away in a neighborhood so the ambience back here is a little different...more chilled out. The indoor side has two side rooms and a main bar area where most of the patrons sit. One of the side rooms was more expansive and from the signs hanging, is also used for larger events like a bowling game and a drawing night. Another room has a nice sofa and is separated from the outside by a garage door, where you access the patio. Since it was a nice night we sat outside to enjoy a few. Plenty of seating out there, the only thing they're missing are bags/boards. But enough of the scenery, lets get down to the beer. Their menu was about 12 or so deep when we stopped by. It was mostly summer weighted as it should have been, but also included a couple of stouts. This is where I go fuzzy, trying to remember beer names. I had a stout and a red, and enjoyed both. I also look forward to returning for their fall/winter beers. Cheers.

    Jason was very friendly and gave some great recommendations. Nice brewery in a quiet neighborhood.

    With a Stout that is out of this world, a Red and Kolsh which are refreshing and some totally drinkable IPA's Alex has brought Colorado style brewing to the Tri_Cities with an exclamation mark! I'm going to love watching this brewery grow.

Plus, I'm always excited for their rotating Tiki Time drinks during the summer! The food trucks are always delicious and add a fun, fresh element when onsite. The outdoor (and pet-friendly) patio is yet another highlight. It's clear they continue to invest in making the space even better each year. It's such a great spot to relax, hang out with friends, and enjoy a drink (or two). Riverlands is easily my favorite local spot. Highly recommend giving this place a try and hopefully it'll become your new favorite, too!

    Stopped by on a Saturday when there was a hosted comedy show…read more I noticed there was multiple seating areas but the comedy show was hosted in their largest room. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the space was converted to accommodate a non- music event (including sofas upfront - which I enjoyed thoroughly). Our server was kind and attentive before, during and after the show and her presence didn't distract from the show either. I was easily able to enjoy my beer while laughing through the sets. My friends were able to enjoy some beers and canned cocktails as well. We all were impressed with the combination of sold out event and service. I would recommend coming by here on any night - especially one with live entertainment.

Pollyanna is one of the top attractions in downtown St. Charles along the Fox River. Has the brewery as well as a patio that's nice when it's warm enough. They also have a distillery for those who are getting the hard stuff. Best thing about this place is of course the beer, but it also has a chill atmosphere. It's located in the middle of downtown in a plaza. There's a patio in front that will be packed in warm weather. For this particular trip we sat inside. The inside is actually pretty big, and has the bar area as well as an area with quite a few tables. It's about $7 a pint. There was a pretty good variety. I got the Sweater Paws. It's a blonde ale that's on the lighter side. This beer has notes of coffee and vanilla. As for the food, not much else besides $1 or so bags of chips but you can bring stuff in. Has Colleen's Breadsticks for $6 a bag which are local. There's several restaurants next to here that will deliver an order. Has a pretty fun atmosphere and most important has good beers to choose. It also has cans to go. The brewery also hosts some food trucks.

It doesn't look like a brewery would be there. Actually it is. They specialize in fruity ones and sours, so not beers that are hoppy obviously. Beers are typically hoppy to some point, but these aren't. It's for sure a type not many are used to having. These all have a lot of fruit, but what's unique is the fruit is added after the brewing process. Adds a lot of fruit flavor. These often have the consistency of a smoothie. It's about $8 a can. They brew in pretty small batches at Church Street Brewery in Itasca, and serve these at this taproom. Best we had the last time was the Bistro Pineapple Strawberry Habanero. This is a Berliner style weisse. Consistency was thick like a smoothie would be. This had a lot of fruit flavor, but it also had a tartness. For sure we could try some of these beers again. It's located on First Street. They're closed Mondays to Thursdays, pretty limited hours, so it's a place to go on weekends.

The taproom is a simple but comfortable set up with plenty of options for small and larger groups. When I went up to order, there were a couple of options that caught my eye. Energy City Brewing takes on a lot of Bistro/Coffee Shop flavors and transforms them into beers. Flavors like pineapple banana cream pie to grasshopper mint. Thankfully there were a couple of canned options available to sample. Their prices are comparable to other specialty pint prices. I'll definitely be back when in the area to try out another fresh option.

A good amount of choices, whether it's light or a strong one that will kick ass. They also have a food menu, with basics such as pretzels and snacks. For the most part it's good. It's located in an old building downtown that has a couple levels. The upstairs is often used for private events like parties. If it's not available then it's hard to get a seat anywhere. The seats at the bar fill up, and there's only a few tables. It's about $7 a pint. There's a few of the more stronger ones that cost more though. Best one we had the last time was the 3 Amigos Imperial Stout. Full bodied and thick as a brick too. There's notes of ancho chilis, cacao nibs, cinnamon, and vanilla. Also got something to eat. It's $8 for the Bavarian Pretzel. Helps to absorb the alcohol. They also have chips and salsa among the food options. Got to add it to the list of breweries that seem to be everywhere in this city. It's located on Shumway Avenue in a historic old building full of history. This is a popular place to have private events or whatever.

I am a bit of a snob when it comes to patty melts, so when I say it was the best one I've had since Woolworth, that should tell you everything you need to know. My daughter got the kids grilled cheese. When I say grilled cheese, this was an absolutely beautiful sandwich that was put together with care. My daughter is very picky and wound up gobbling down this enormous sandwich, which surprised me because she eats like a bird. The beer there is top notch. I'm very opinionated when it comes to craft beer. Everything I've had there I have really enjoyed. I highly recommend this place. We had an app, kids meal, split an adult meal and 4 beers for $90. Well worth it because I have no issues paying for quality over quality. Do not miss this place.
