    Monday's is 25% off a case of beer  Mix & match!
    Jenni R.

    Loved that it was open on a Monday! We picked up carry out dinner and swung by Kishwaukee Brewing to have a beer. Nice place, employee was friendly & even a fellow patron recommended his favorite beer which turned out to be a great recommendation! We will be back!

    There's a new brewery in town! So glad we heard about this place that's just off McConnell Rd in Woodstock, about a mile east of Rt 47. Located in a quiet industrial area. Big open seating areas both inside and outside. The patio is enclosed by a metal fence (or iron?) with part of it being cement and part of it is rocks. Both tables and barrels outside with Edison lights strung across for a beautiful ambiance day or night. We started with four taster (two each) from Porter to session pale ale. Nice variety and good flavors. I liked the Marzen best. Fork n' Fry not your routine poutine food truck just pulled in to get set up for the Friday night crowd.

    There are a handful of breweries that have the "vibe" that KBC has. Let's start with the beer: top shelf flavors. Loved their Baltic Porter (nice balance of coffee and hops), liked their Marzen (German classic), loved the Maibock (this was my favorite) of hops and malt, and loved their their Session Pale (fantastic balance for a Pale Ale). There is a brewery north of Columbus, OH, that reminds me of this place. Laid back, breezy, classic feel for a brewery that you can't find in most. A bit out of the way but away from all of the other distractions. I could spend every afternoon here....

    I foresee this becoming a local staple for us. We loved the atmosphere and the people. I'm not a huge beer person, but my husband loved everything he tried! This will become a routine spot to hang on a bright summer day!

The beer is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the vibe is relaxed in the best possible way. Throw in the occasional food trucks -- often fantastic -- and suddenly that "quick beer" turns into staying a little longer than planned.

    Checked out this pretty cool small brewery in Huntley. It isn't the attention getter that More is,…read morebut the beers are great and a pretty sweet hang out. Sew Hop'd is located in the building next to the tracks. Maybe there's not as many to choose from, but they make these with better care. There's some pretty unique ones, and at pretty good prices. A small brewery like this has fewer beers. It's the only bad thing that can be said about it. The part that makes up for this is that the beers are great though. It's about $7 a pint. Pretty comparable to other microbreweries like this. Had a few the last time here. Of the ones that we tried, the best was the Take The Stage. It's a session Indian pale ale. There was also a strawberry cheesecake one that I would have tried if it didn't have lactose. Here's another great local brewery to get some cold ones and chill. It's mostly known for the beers, but there's also entertainment such as live music. There's not really any food, but they have tubs of Von Hanson's pretzels, and there's food trucks on weekends.

I'll try to be short, but want to give a true account of the events. Yesterday I came from the city via Metra late afternoon with another friend to visit a dear friend that moved to Cary a few years ago. Cary is far & we rarely see one another. Needless to say, we were super excited to for this mini-reunion & for our friend to show us a slice of Cary. It was not the best planning being St Paddy's weekend but so be it. We specifically looked for a place we could easily talk & catch up. We started w/ one chocolate martini at Cucina Rustica and chatted OVER an HOUR. Little did we know, we should have stayed there. Next stop, Cary RACIST Ale House. The back area lounge was nearly empty & we were assured it was open (not booked for any events). The waitress, at the start aggressively asked a bunch of questions. I first thought her line of questioning was bizarre so I ignored her while trying to figure out what to order. She asked how we got there, who was driving & specifically said she didn't feel comfortable in serving me. WTF?!?!? My friend politely answered her questions and when she left, we all agreed the waitress's behavior was odd & laughed it off. We refused to have her ruin our evening. To our SHOCK the waitress would NOT serve me?! Only me! Was I disruptive? NO! Was I being violent or doing something illegal? NO! Did I come in stumbling? NO! Was I slumped over passed out? NO! This was crazy! Check your security cameras if you don't believe! Was this a bad twilight zone episode? Was someone going to tell us this was all a joke? I was speechless. We asked her why. She said it was a management decision. What?! Interesting since no one came to talk to us aside from her. We asked her to explain, to get some understanding. You will NOT believe what she said....she said it was my eyes. I looked at my two white friends & asked if something was wrong with my eyes? No, nothing is wrong. WOW, she basically said my Asian eyes were an issue. Falsely claiming I was drunk and couldn't be served because she didn't like Asian-looking eyes?!?! I was stone cold sober ***hole! We were all completely sober & flabbergasted! Completely disgusted, we left. I thought about brushing this aside but I wouldn't want anyone else to be treated that way. I will not allow them to humiliate me. This was supposed to be a happy occasion, and it was spoiled by a bigoted, small-minded person. I don't know how these people can live with themselves.

I appreciate that the place is dog friendly too. The owners and staff here are fantastic and make you feel immediately welcomed. They take time to educate you on their selections and share some of the unique history of this place. I enjoyed the bourbon, on ice, very much, and also tried a shot of amaretto and a tequila. I will definitely be back to try more of their spirits, as everything I tried was smooth, flavor filled, and just left me wanting more!

Loved the fact that he asked if we had ever been - he gave us the low down and explained the drink menu. They have lots of different choices for beer & spirits. The Amaretto Stone Sour (receipt said 10 oz for $12 - it was more like 5 ounces) & Vodka Elderflower ($6) were both very good. They also sell spirits by the bottle, hats & other items. Great place to pick up something local! The place doesn't appear to serve food and they have a couple seating areas away from the bar both inside & outside where you congregate with friends. I will admit I had a tough time picking just one drink to have so I will be back!
