This brewery is tucked away in an industrial park, which can make it a little hard to find--but it's absolutely worth seeking out. Once you're inside, they've done a great job creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Every time we've visited, the people have been extremely friendly, and that's honestly a big reason we keep going back. It feels welcoming and genuine, not pretentious. The beers are local and really good, with a wide selection--perfect if you're with a group that likes different styles. There's something for everyone. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area. read more

I used to frequent the place because work was right around the corner. Cool, tiny place, friendly waitstaff and the pizza was remarkable. I travel all over the country for work and this is one of the spots that still comes to mind when the desire for pizza is present. read more

Absolutely love how cozy and chill this place is. We came here on a Saturday evening- it looks a bit off the beaten path and it's like a nice hidden place. Bright lights are around the building so you can't miss it. I had their Salted Caramel hard seltzer and by golly, totally tasted like it. There are some nice lounging couches and chairs, inviting you and your buddies to chill. The music is not over bearing. Maybe I was overbearing because we were singing along read more

Google map directed us to this brewery in route from hotel in Schaumburg to Des Plains Thearter. This place was great. Out in n endustial area, but did not disappoint. Ambiance was cool like a dive bar imeets garage bar meets Hollywood. It was great. Service was excellent. Like meeting an old friend. Now the beer: an assortment of many things to chose from. I had the Cream Ale and my friend had a barrel stout. Of course the list varies. We both loved what we had...sometimes breweries beers taste the same، this was a. Ice change of pace. Cheers to Fibs! read more

Fibs is a nice and laid back place. I came here on a beautiful summer early evening, so there was outdoor seating. The lady who helped us in the counter was very friendly and welcoming. I tried a flight of the seltzers and a Kolsch. The flavors of the seltzers were delicious but I liked their Kolsch the best. We also ordered Sausage & Pepperoni pizza. I know it was frozen pizza but it was actually delicious! The place had a fun and great vibe. It was clean and parking was easy as well. I will be back for sure. Til next time! read more

Fibs is a total vibe and I love the FIBS (F*ck1nG Illinois Bastards) who work there lol. Dean and Greg are two awesome dudes who run this cute little brewery. My girlfriends and I were getting dinner around the area and discovered this gem of a spot. It's right by the high school I went to. I thought it was new but they've actually been open for six years! It's a pretty small place with limited seating. They have card games, board games, and delicious drinks. We started off with a shot of Scooby Snack ($9- YUM! It tastes like a piña colada). I tried their Guatemalan Grappler ($8) which was SO good, like an espresso martini, but in beer form. So creamy and delicious. I also had the Eight-Legged Octopus ($8), a light and tasty drink! My girlfriends also really enjoyed PBJB ($8), tastes like peanut butter & raspberry jelly sandwich, but in beer form, and Nefarious Sinberry ($8). We stayed at Fibs for hours just yapping away. We got to take a shot with Greg and yap away with Dean. We also tried one of their bar snacks, crackers with goat cheese. They gave us a WHOLE tub of cheese. Amazing. I probably mentioned bringing our BFs, fiancé, and husband to this spot like 50 times. They also have live music outside during the summertime! I can't wait to go back and bring my bf next time!! read more

Good beer and service, but very small and crowded on the inside! I do love the creativity of the flavors of beer though.

It's ok for brewing place extremely small the couches in the very front entrance are ok but it's the foyer of this pace there's some bar stools and table. The back area is ok. It's kinda weird a bit creepy for me with the "diamond" creations being made from cremations. I'm sure it's better weather permitting outside with chairs and tables. Quite a few beer selections to try. Limited on other beverages for those who don't drink beer but want to hang out with those that do. read more

Great drinks! Great pizza! Great atmosphere! We highly recommend this brewery as an after work relaxation spot.

A hidden gem. We stopped in on a Sunday evening. It is hidden in an industrial park, and on a Sunday there is very little activity. They offer a variety of beers , some unusual, like the jolly rancher. They were all very good., and they can be purchased in a different sizes. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly and has indoor and outdoor seating. The server was very nice and his suggestions were great. We ordered the pizza and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Definitely will be back. read more

Great variety and unique tastes!! Employees were super friendly, welcoming, and fun to joke with. It's a wonderful hidden gem

I had the Amber Ale - it was malty and smooth and we were lucky enough to find a table - the inside is small but it's super cute. We didn't try any of the food but we will be back for more beer! read more

This is my second or third time being here, this place is a Hidden Gem best beers in town, they keep switching their beers which is also good I like trying new things, I highly recommend coming here, top two beers for me were eight legged octopus apple ale and strawberry cheesecake hard seltzer, and I'm not a big fan of hard sellers at all this is probably one of the best tasting hard seltzers I ever had read more

I am new to the neighborhood. Walk into this brewery, off the beaten path and was warmly greeted by Evan. I told him what I liked and he recommended the Leotis Box, an excellent Belgian lager. Bar stools and graffiti laced tables are de rigueur with a backdrop of brewery kilns and pizza ovens. The bar is varnished natural wood with seating for four. All in all, a pleasant surprise and I will return to check out the food menu. read more

I love locally sourced brewed beers. Moved from Iowa and I like connecting with the community and with the owner welcoming I would say I felt connected. Tried 5 Beers watermelon jolly rancher's Fib Cage, some cream ale, some IPA and chocolate coffee all of them were different. Pizzas in the house were good This was overall a fun place to be! I would've loved to get drunk but loved the fact I was sober on a weekday. read more

Hidden in the warehouse area, love to sneak away on a lunch break to the cozy tasting room

Went here a few weeks ago. They had a decent selection of beers and you can try them in different sizes which was nice. We sat outside since the weather was great. The lighting from the buildings was horrendous at night. There was also a party with a band; when the band was playing you could not speak to another person and actually hear them. But I would come here again! read more

This was a pleasant suprise!! I Was in town for a family emergency and my father in law suggested it. He had never been but thought it might be decent. I had their DIPA and a Russian Imperial stout. Both were good. It is a pretty small batch production and I suspect they have new brews often. I will DEFINITLY stop back when I'm town. read more

First time stopping in, place has a great feel - and surprisingly for being busy it wasn't obnoxiously loud inside. Beers were good, skittles flight, nice flavor not overly sour, and the Guatemalan Grappler matched the description (tho I do wish it would've been heavier). All in all was a very great place, will most definitely be back again ... read more

This is an out of the way place that you should make time to visit. Great pizza and beer. Not a lot of variety of pizza but what they do they do well. Great beer variety with inventive flavors. The watermelon jolly rancher beer was very creative. I never thought I'd be able to drink a jolly rancher. Fibs brewing is also Pet friendly too. This is a great place to spend a warm summer day outside with friends. The décor inside is very interesting as well. read more

It took me 3 years but I finally made it to check it out. I am so glad that I did. Stoped in to try their cream ale and stayed for a flight, pizza, malort, and too a crowler to go!. The bar/ bar only has 3 seats but everyone is extra extra friendly and accomodating (there is plenty of seats in another room and outside). Had a blast chatting with people from Seattle, Canada, Pittsburgh, St. Louis who were also popping in for the first time, and a regular from a few blocks away. Can't talk this place up enough....and that's even before you start drinking beer. Beer also delicious. I like Kolsches and Cream Ales, was not disappointed. Their other selections were yummy as well. Limited food options/one frozen pizza oven but the pizza was better than from the store. Come by and give them a whirl. read more

New to the area and locating a brewery who brews on site has been rough! Walked in and instantly felt at home! Ad a woman who loves brewing I asked Jill 100! Questions and she was happy to answer every single one. The food was fantastic. The brews fantastic. The service fantastic! I felt so welcomed and comfortable. Just as a reminder this is not a restaurant. You come up and place an order, don't expect the staff to run you down because it's one person so be respectful and in return you'll get that same respect. read more

Des plaines certainly isn't known for its brewery scene, but this is a cool addition to the suburban neighborhood! The beers are good, and it can stand on its own with other Chicago craft breweries. The place is tiny, but they have excellent production. I believe there were 8 beers on tap when we visited. Impressive for a small brewery. The beers were very tasty. My favorite was the Death plaines, Leotis box & Muddy fudder. They have a wide variety of beer styles, which means there's something tasty for everyone. The space was super cool, and had some great decor. The brewery name itself is also funny, owner must be from Wisconsin . Staff was super friendly, and helpful with questions. they also provided some bar snacks for munching, but you are able to bring in outside food. Definitely a cool brewery, and I will be back when I'm home next! read more

Fibs Brewing - Sausage and Pepperoni Homemade Pizza - Breweries Near Me - Des Plaines, Illinois

Was a very friendly owner and I enjoyed stopping by and getting a couple of crowlers. They were patient with me trying a few things and taking our time to decide. Has some basic but good brews and some more unusual ones. I really liked the unusual as is my taste and the others are good solid brews done well. Prices are a bit high but not too bad. The atmosphere is easy going but in non covid times there isn't a lot of seating. Still a good little place to hang out it seems it would be. They had a good sour but my dad doesn't like them much so we got a stout and a scotch ale. I liked all that I tried. Just a nice friendly down to earth microbrewery I'll definitely try again when in the area. read more

You have to stop in! My husband and I were heading to Rosemont for the weekend from the south suburbs and we were looking to grab a quick bite and drink. Upon researching local breweries, Fibs popped up on the list. I am grateful! We were greeted by a friendly woman that introduced us to the brews and offered suggestions. Needless to say, two hours later, we had a couple flights, some full pours, nibbled on some great thin crust sausage pizza and played several rounds of Connect Four (chosen from their interesting game selections)! It is a small and quaint place, but has a ton of character! Thanks for helping us kick start our wonderful weekend And btw....Fibs brews were so much better than those we tried later that evening at a "pricier, larger" brewery in Rosemont near the casino. Just sayin! ‍ read more

If you are looking for a low key night out with a friend or loved one, I would highly recommend trying Fibs Brewing. Their creatively named beers are sure to leave you coming back for more. While I usually prefer a wheat beer, I found myself loving the watermelon beer, pilsner, and stout. The atmosphere is so fun, with creative and personalized decorations throughout the space. They even have a selfie station. read more

Fibs Brewing automatically enticed me with its unique, humorous, quirky, and distinctive decor - so much so I spent a good amount of time roaming around to take a closer look at what was hanging on their walls. Their eclectic decor theme was really amusing and created an atmosphere unique to any other in the Des Plaines region. To call their craft beers amazing is really an understatement - my personal favorite was the Guatemalan Grappler (Nitro). It is rich with flavors of dark cocoa, coffee, and had a subtle sweetness that gave it a sleek taste and flavor. I only tried three of their drinks, but I was tempted to buy each drink they could possibly sell due. All of their drinks are so unique and creative. Not to mention, their pizza is DELICIOUS. We had it hot and fresh out of the oven, and they have a variety of them. My experience here was nearly perfect. Fibs Brewing made a strong first impression for sure, and there's no doubt I will be coming back here on my own time. read more

This place is super cool- if you're looking for a smaller, unique place with great beer, this is the place for you. We came a bit before dinner on a Saturday and wow was it packed! I was determined to stay, and we ended up snagging a small table in the corner. Heads up to those with bigger groups- there's only a few seating set ups for 4+ people. Compared to other breweries, this place is super small (which is definitely part of it's charm). On to the best part, the beer. Each one I tried was awesome, like many others, Death Plaines was the standout for me. We ended up trying two different flights, would highly recommend this if you haven't tried any of their beers before. The overall vibe of this place is like a neighborhood brewery (even though it's located in an industrial park). We will definitely be coming back to make our way through the beer list. read more
