Discover Chicago's Brewmuda Triangle

There’s a place outside of Chicago where the beer flows like wine. You guessed it: the suburbs.

Whether you’re in town for work or play, there are three Chicagoland breweries slaying the ‘burb beer scene.

Now, I can’t claim the term Brewmuda Triangle as my own, but it is pretty brilliant. And, unlike the risk you’d take when venturing to the western part of the North Atlantic, this handy dandy map should help ensure you don’t go off grid.

So, join me along this tour-de-breweries outside city limits! And be sure to pick up some cans to-go before you leave the ‘burbs.

Mikerphone Brewing
Your first stop? The brewery closest to O’Hare Airport - Mikerphone Brewing.

All of their beers are named with music in mind, and they just expanded the space to accommodate their growing fan base. With classics like Mikerphone Check 1, 2 and the Smells Like Bean Spirit series, Mikerphone has captured the hearts of suburban and city dwellers alike.

More Brewing
Well-known for the tough-to-acquire barrel aged stouts Henna and Mehndi, More is putting out more hazy IPA’s than even the biggest haze bro can keep up with.

Soak up the suds with tasty food from their pub grub menu, including cheese curds, a big pretzel or a fried chicken sandwich.

Noon Whistle Brewing Co.
Beloved for their Gummy series, they’re also producing some tasty berliners and barrel aged beers.

If you stop by during the weekend in the summertime, be sure to sample a beer slushy. (Even the finest beer connoisseur is not above this sweet treat!)
