Revolution Brewery
Casa Humilde’s cervezas are brewed with the entire extended familia in mind.

See what’s making the old-timers proud of the next generation.
Blue Island Beer Company
Blue Island Beer Company hails from the steel towns of decades past where breweries made waves and prospered during prohibition in Chicagoland’s far south side. Don’t call it a comeback but Blue Island Beer Company brings a new era of excellence in craft brewing under the leadership of Al Cromwell and brewmaster Bryan Schimko. Expect instant classics.
5 Rabbit Cerveceria
5 Rabbit Cerveceria hopped over the craft beer competition when they released their first beer in 2011 while making history as the first Latin American inspired brewery. They’ve not only challenged beer-making convention but made a political statement with their famous and groundbreaking “Chinga tu Pelo” that made many of us raise a glass in their honor. ¡Salud!
18th Street Brewery
18th Street Brewery was founded as a home brewery by Drew Fox in 2010. You’ll find their original location in Gary, IN and a bigger newer Hammond location houses production, packaging, barrel program, a taproom and a full service kitchen. Their beers range from saisons, double India Pale Ales, double milk stouts to pilsners and lagers. Try what they live and love to do.
Lo Rez Brewery & Taproom
Lo Rez is committed to the craft of beer making and the art of building community. Since day one, they’ve been showcasing art with perfectly curated monthly shows in partnership with Pilsen Outpost and contributing monetarily to neighborhood causes without seeking publicity. Their German style brews are second to none. Taste the difference Lo Rez is making.
