About this book

This Illinois guide covers 40 breweries, 102 beers, and 54 places across Lake Zurich, Elk Grove Village, Westmont, Itasca, Palatine, South Barrington, Downers Grove, Villa Park, Huntley, Lyons, Lombard, and Tinley Park. Use it to find what to order first, from hazy IPAs and crisp lagers to stouts, sours, saisons, meads, and more. Each stop is set up for a traveler who wants a simple read on the room and a clear sense of what pours there. Plan a short route from city to city, stop for a pint, then keep moving. It is built for a quick trip as well as a longer beer run through Illinois, with places that fit a phone screen and a day on the road.

Who made this guide

This guide was conceived by Luiz Sales — "Luizão" to his friends — founder of Rare Beer Brazil.

Luiz is a collector and curator of rare craft beer. On Untappd he has logged more than 6,100 check-ins of over 5,500 different beers and earned more than 4,100 badges: years of tasting, taking notes and comparing, one taproom at a time.

Rare Beer Brazil was born on that road. It shows people in Brazil the way to rare American beers and takes care of their journey until they arrive. Curated With Soul. Drink less, savor more.
