• Burnt City Brewing.  Formerly known as Atlas Brewing, it's back and better than ever with its signature Pale Ales.
  

• Begyle Brewing.  Chicago's first "community-supported brewery" is three-years-in with no sign of slowing down thanks to a shiny, new taproom and a solid lineup of core beers
  

• Dryhop Brewing. This Lakeview beer oasis specializes in IPAs and Pale Ales brewed just steps away from its bar, dining room, and popular sidewalk patio.

• Corridor Brewing and Provisions. The sister spot to DryHop follows a similar model with the restaurant and bar in the front and stainless steel brewhouse in the back.

• Piece Brewery and Pizzeria. The crew at Piece have a variety of brews that go well by themselves or paired with the pie of your choice. And the pizza is some of the best in the city.
  

• Forbidden Root & Brewery. Botanical brews are the name of the game at this recently opened West Town brewery and restaurant. This means that beers are spiked with herbs and spices, from ginger to licorice and wildflowers.

• Goose Island Beer Company. It only took 20 years after Goose Island opened its Fulton and Wood facility to open this gem of a tasting room that offers hard-to-find beers (think Bourbon County Brand Stout) as well as tours of the brewing facility.
  

• Haymarket Pub and Brewery. While Randolph Street keeps getting trendier, this longstanding brewpub remains true to its ethos of serving creative beers in a laid-back setting.
  

• Lagunitas Brewing Company. The Midwest headquarters to Lagunitas is not only the city's largest brewery, but also boasts an equally spacious brewpub. Here, enjoy Little Sumpin' Sumpin' and spent grain brownies before taking a tour of the facility.

• Revolution Brewing. Drink in the heart of one of Chicago's largest production breweries. The sister spot to its Logan Square restaurant offers a large assortment of brews alongside views of the all the production action, as well as complimentary tours.
