Phase Three Brewing - Lake Zurich
Brewery
👍👍 It was my last night in town and too early to go to bed, so I did what any beer loving native Midwesterner would do, look for a brewery that's open. I had heard good things about this place so decided to check them out since they weren't too far. They did not disappoint. They have a wide selectio...

Sundial Brewing and Blending
Brewery
👍👍 Lots of people on Google reviews like to talk about "the space" and whatnot. The space is good, but the beer is phenomenal. You can taste the hard work put into these brews. This place quite possibly has the best/close to the best tasting beer in the Chicagoland area. If you want a top tier barrel a...

👍👍 Great brewery with really friendly staff. Was planning to stay overnight as a Harvest Host member but our AC was not working on a 99 degree day. The server was super understanding when we choose not to stay due to the temps. Enjoyed a really good Irish Red Ale and we should know:-). Will definitely...

👍👍 Delicious beers and a classy atmosphere. The owners clearly put as much heart into the design of the taproom as they do into their brewing. The space has an airy and upscale feel, someplace you'd expect to find in the city. A fantastic addition to Lake Zurich.

👍👍 Excellent beer! I enjoyed a flight with the 8-Legged Octopus and Aqua Tofana being my top favorites. Brewery also serves snacks - grabbed a pretzel with creole mustard on the side (it's got a kick!). Friendly bartender and patrons. LifeGem diamond-making machine in same facility. Overall unique beer...

Black Lung Brewing Company

👍 I LOVE the vibe of this place. Really low-key and chill. They allow dogs inside and they have some games and it’s a really slick place. I personally haven’t found a beer on-tap that I really like. But I enjoy trying them, because they have quite a few on tap. They have bands playing there often a...

👍👍 This place is incredible and I’m excited that they just opened up. Don’t let the name fool you, this is not just a brewing company. The food menu and dishes were incredible and will be its own claim to fame in this town. The miso cod was cooked to perfection. I’m usually picky around my fish and how...

Mikerphone Brewing

👍👍 A great nano brewery with character and flavour. There are always lots of rotating beers that are very flavorful and electric. I LOVE this place well worth the two trips so far from WI. The place is big and plenty of street parking at off peak times as it is in an industrial area. Some snacks are se...

👍👍 An incredible oasis of incredible beer and BBQ in Niles. Had a lunch special sandwich that was incredibly tasty and some of the best fries I've ever had.

👍👍 A lovely place! A lot of space in a great location. The beer is great, orange door IPA is my choice here. Happy hour is from 3 to 6 on he weekends and it is near the trail, so you can get there during your walk, like ride or jogging. This place is definitely recommended.

👍👍 Seems like my first and most recent review was back on April 10, 2022. Updating my review now on National IPA Day. Enjoyed their Little Juice Coupe IPA 5.9% ABV and their oh so unique Rauchbier. Food still excellent. Pictured here is The Grilled Dill, a grilled cheese pickle sandy and a cup of pickl...

👍 Fun little brewery that has dome good food options from the place next store (Bwb shakes). They have a cooler to get beers to go. Gets a little packed, but probably 10 to 15 spots at the bar as well.
