Enjoy Our Extensive Brewery Reviews

Here’s the deal… Our brewery reviews are subject to complete and accurate personal bias. We like just about everything and at the same time are incredibly picky. An oxymoron? Sure, we’ll go with that.
Two Hound Red | Glen Ellyn, IL
Read more
A few months back we visited Two Hound Red’s head brewer Steve Woertendyke, and we can both honestly say Steve has completely turned our beer world on its head. This article is a bit of a departure from what we’ve done in the past, but it is for the better. Our goal has always been to tell the story of beer and rather than sit back and tell you this beer is better than that beer, we believe it’s more pertinent for our readers to get to know the peeps that steep.
If I Brewed the World | St. Petersburg, FL
READ MORE
I think in the short time we’ve been doing this blog, one thing I can say for certain is that we have learned what we like in a brewery. If I Brewed the World checks those boxes. t’s a bit of a shock initially but the bar staff is friendly and you quickly become engrossed in your surroundings. A giant gorilla mural with a crown will immediately grab your attention and is what got us saying “Okay we’re hanging here for a while.”
Bottle Theory | Elmhurst, IL
READ MORE
A little something different today. Something wonderful has arrived in Elmhurst and it’s time R&B finally spilled the beer about it. This past week, Bottle Theory, the area’s newest drinking establishment (with a full service taqueria) officially turned on the lights and opened their doors. Located smack in the middle of Spring Road.
2nd Shift Brewery | St. Louis, MO
read more
This week, we found ourselves back in the LOU again at a brewery neither of us had visited, but both had heard a ton about. Hidden just out of reach of the shadow of the St. Louis Arch, we finally had a chance to discover the awesomeness that is 2nd Shift Brewing!
Heavy Riff | St. Louis, MO
READ MORE
This year, it seems we have been hitting states harder than a grizzled touring band so last weekend’s stop at Heavy Riff only seemed fitting. Located in Dogtown in STL, the area and the brewery feel a bit like a not so well-kept secret.
Urban South | New Orleans, LA
READ MORE
Where to begin… Imagine living in Louisiana and having an affinity for 90s culture, fanny packs, fluorescent colors and gradients smattered across everything you own: Urban South is your place.
The Old Bakery | Alton, IL
read more
My first brewery for the brew blog sent Jeff and I all the way to Southern Illinois – Alton to be exact. I picked The Old Bakery Beer Company since Jeff and I were going to be down south to celebrate a family member’s engagement. And luckily for me, my first brewery was gold!
Topsy Turvy | Lake Geneva, WI
Read more
“What happens when you haul a bunch of brewing equipment down to the lake and set up shop in an abandoned church?” You take me to my happy place that’s what happens. As an elder millennial and someone who loves all things with a bit of age and patina, visiting Topsy Turvey was a no brainer.
These brewery reviews are updated at our leisure, and we are slow moving. Don’t be shocked if you see a review on a brewery you know we were at months ago. Greatness takes time to cultivate.
