- Craft brewing is big news in Illinois. The last few years have seen a dramatic increase in the number of small craft breweries which are popping up all over in response to the demand for artisanal brews.
- Many of the most successful craft breweries had their origins in home-brewers' kitchens and cellars, where the brewers honed their skills before offering their distinctive beers to the public.
- Be sure to check out the Illinois Craft Beer Week in May and the Chicago Beer Fest in October.
