Half Acre has been a local favorite since they started brewing on Chicago’s North side in 2009. Head over to their taproom to try out their seasonal offerings or skip the samples and go straight for the Daisy Cutter Pale Ale. By far our favorite, Daisy Cutter is lush, dank, and a definite must-try for any Pale Ale lover. Plus, you can get it delivered any time!

We couldn’t talk about our favorite breweries from Chicago without giving Goose Island a shout-out. The craft beer pioneers over at Goose Island have created a delicious menu of seasonal and year-round beers that have found their way into fridge again and again.
We recommend trying their urban wheat ale, 312 (named for the local area code) for a true taste of Chicago.
