15 Brewery Tour Routes Across Chicago
Chicago's craft beer scene is one of the best in America — over 200 breweries spread across the city and suburbs, each with its own personality and flagship brews. And the variety is staggering: IPAs, stouts, sours, lagers, and everything in between. But with so many options scattered across different neighborhoods, planning a brewery crawl that makes geographic sense (and taste sense) is harder than it sounds.

Route 1: Ravenswood Corridor (The Malt Row)
- Half Acre Beer Company
- Begyle Brewing
- Dovetail Brewery
