But let's talk about the vibe of the place as a whole. Have you heard of HP Lovecraft? The Old Ones? Or D&D? This place embraces that shit and so much more. If you're a nerd like me, if you like beer like me, and if you love the weird lie me, this lace is for us. Let me know if you're coming and I'll buy you a beer if I'm there too. Their beers are excellent, with lots of great options, from lighter beers to IPAs to serious aged stouts. The food has gotten very impressive in recent years, both internally and with food trucks or popups. And don't even start with me on their live music! Amazing! Every time I'm within a stones throw of here, you'll find me here having a pint. Come say hi.

Found out about this brewery in Westmont and came to try a few beers. It's in a pretty hard to find…read morelocation in some industrial area, the worst thing about it. Whiskey Hill is a funny name, as this place has beer, not whiskey. Oh well, what they have is still good. There's a pretty good selection including some hoppy and sours. A lot of breweries are in kind of strange areas. It's the case with this one. This is located on Vandustrial in a building it share with some offices and whatever. Lots of trucking companies around here. There's semis parked along the street. Anyway, the beers. It's about $6 a pour. It's not quite a pint but whatever. Even so, a pretty good price for a small brewery. Has many to choose from. Best was the 7 Mile Bridge. It's a Belgian Weisse with key lime, toasted coconut, and vanilla. A lot of lime flavor. This is almost like a sour to be honest. A pretty strong one at 7% ABV. There's not a whole lot on tap, but they manage to have quite a bit for a microbrewery to be honest. Get some beers on tap or take some of the cans to go. It's a small place but when it's warmer they have a patio. There's no food but sometimes there's food trucks.

We first learned about Skeleton Key when we visited Bengston's Pumpkin Farm and fell in love with…read morethe Octoberfest beer offered onsite from Skeleton Key Brewery. Intrigued, we found our way to Skeleton Key Brewery and have been in love ever since! The moment you walk into Skeleton Key, you feel welcomed by the staff and inviting space /ambiance. With the main bar area and a part space, there is plenty of room to spread out. Clean, open, and quirky decor, we really enjoy being physically inside of Skeleton Key. The seating is also well spread apart and very comfy! For this reason, we often come to hangout, do some work, and watch games. It is a great place to come and spend some time with others! But, most importantly, the beer is delicious and well priced. The Octoberfest is scrumptious and what brought us to Skeleton Key. But Saudade, Frog Splash, and Migratory are some of our other favorites. My husband has loved all of the IPA's he has tried. Adam and all of the other staff are absolute delights! They make the experience even more positive and something we look forward to! We always look forward to our next Skeleton Key Brewery visit! Cheers!

At first, I thought it was on the pricier side, but after a few visits, I don't mind paying a bit more for the nicer ambiance. Happy hour runs weekdays from 3-5 pm with $5 beers and some food specials. The burgers are always a solid choice, and they've got a great draft list with options you don't usually see in stores. I'm especially a fan of their pales and IPAs. 'Til next time, cheers!

They have a lot of board games to borrow, pinball machines and multiple TVs usually playing some live sports. The best part about this place though is the staff - we've met the owner a few times when we're in, and have a favorite bartender who always seems to be here when we come. They are absolutely incredible and seem like just good people. For those who become regulars, the Draft Class membership is definitely worth it if you can snag one!

NINETY-NINE BOTTLES OF BEER ON THE WALL…read more This bottle shop in downtown Downers Grove has a myriad of craft options. Prior to last weekend, every time I walked past Orange & Brew the lights were still off (they don't open until noon) so I had no choice but to peer longingly thru the windows into a dark business. I finally stopped in during normal hours with the family in tow on the first Saturday in August. I got a mix-and-match 4pk of IPAs + pilsners for my dad, who has oft complained about the lack of decent brewskis at my house. Well Opa, now you've got a quartet of 16oz craft cans to pick from, so no more grumbling about "only shitty light beer" in the downstairs fridge! They have a large cooler for people to take beer to-go. My wife grabbed a 4pk of rosé hard cider ($13) which she later claimed tasted too much like kombucha. I found it refreshing, like a Woodchuck or Strongbow with a gorgeous deep purple hue. Of course I had to play their four pinball tables on the left side ($1 per game). They had a Stranger Things (with snazzy UV kit upgrade!), Deadpool, 007, and Rick & Morty. The first three are newer Sterns that play decently, but R&M is a strange design from Spooky Pinball that I've yet to figure out. * TL;DR * Take one down, pass it around.....that'll be $6, please! Orange & Brew shares plenty of similarities with Beer Shop in Oak Park: brews on tap, assorted brews in bottles on a shelf, and a fridge full of cold brews to take home. The biggest difference is that O&B has pinball tables, and that bumps them up a star. The guy behind the counter who tapped my beer didn't smile (or even say thanks) when we cashed out. I got the feeling he was apprehensive about my wife and I bringing our 4yo & 1yo kids in here, probably afraid they'd crack open and chug a beer without paying. But seriously, they were very well behaved. If I'm in the area and Orange & Brew is open, I'm definitely stopping in for a cold pint and a few games of pinball. Check them out!

Got there and learned that they had the upstairs closed (by the big TVs). They squeezed us into a much too-small table outside away from the small TVs. We asked several times for a bigger table but kept being told that someone had reserved that table. How? I wish we knew instead of waiting the hour for a bad table that won't fit our entrees. The hostess was so apologetic, but was clearly more interested in packing more people in at the tables than actually fit. I won't be recommending this place for watching matches again.

Had the Scotch Egg appetizer and was surprised how substantial they were - and they were almost meal sized. They were really good. The dip wasn't my favorite accompaniment, but it was ok. Then I had the German Sausage Platter with one each of their three types. Decided that I wasn't as thrilled by the Bratwurst. The Knockwurst was better and the Thuringer was best of all. The sausages came with a variety of sauces, so everything was good. In fact, my final judgement was that these were some of the best sausages I've ever had, including some I've had in Germany. So feel safe recommending the Lodge if you have an urge for some Bavarian food.
