District Brew Yards

Very cool concept. Lacking the character and personality of traditional style breweries, but a good time nonetheless. You enter into a large gift shop and package store; here is where you get your card. When you go to the next room, there are 4 separate walls of taps, you pour your own & keep track of it on the card, paying as you leave. 4 breweries are located here: Bold Dog, Around the Bend, Burnt City and Casa Humilde. Most of what is on tap is available in the package store so you can truly try before you buy. There is a restaurant on site, I didn't eat but it looked good. You could spend a whole evening here.

This place has been delivering fine beers to my house since the beginning of Covid-19 quarantine so I love it. I've actually always rather liked the place and it's where I frequently take out of town people just because it's four breweries at once. This is a pour your own place which takes some getting used to but I like it overall. There's staff there to help out if you somehow don't know what beer is and a little barbecue counter in the corner.

A cool concept that is kind of a pour your own brewery hall with four different breweries on tap. A large open space with lots of communal seating and a nice modern feel. Service is really only present when you check in and they do a good job of cleaning tables/answering questions. 10 taps each from four different breweries makes it an ideal spot for ticking. Food was quite good, recommend the pastrami! Prices were inline with the Chicago area. A really unique concept that I enjoyed quite a bit.
