We have an excellent beer scene in Chicago, anchored by numerous innovative breweries of all sizes. Below is a list of all Chicago breweries. Last updated June 2020; email [email protected] to update information.

Regarding the COVID-19 crisis, breweries (and bars and restaurants) need your support now more than ever. You should check and see if brewpubs and taprooms are closed or limited; tours almost certainly are not running. Most breweries are offering in-person or curbside pickup or delivery and some are available at your local craft beer shops. Here is a current list of pick-up and delivery options.
