A 25% tariff on aluminum will be devastating for Illinois.
Our craft breweries could see a $10.2 million increase in packaging costs, testing their already delicate supply chains and razor-thin margins.
Ultimately, our small brewery owners and customers will pay the price.
We love to see our leaders #DrinkIllinois. Thank you for your support, @SenatorDurbin!
Stopped by @HopButcher in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago today, a craft brewery that’s been operating since 2014.
I grabbed two brews from the taproom on my way out — Grid and Two Thumbs Up.
Yep, it's cold ❄️
But our winter issue of @Illinoisbrewing is packed with readers' picks for the coziest taprooms in Illinois! Pick yours up at one of hundreds of breweries and retailers, and LET'S GOOOOO.

We call that a win-win.
Congrats to our Week 2 winner! Two down, two to go!
Today we celebrate the life of President Jimmy Carter and share our gratitude for his contributions to our #craftbeer industry. He paved the way for homebrewers to explore their passions, leading many to open the country's first craft breweries.

#DryJanuary has nothing on Illinois beer fans.
Today in #Chicago, 120 women from 50+ Midwest craft beer organizations have convened at @solemnoathbeer to brew a collaboration beer with a single purpose: to improve access, education, and representation in the craft beer industry, particularly for women.
Vibes from the Heartland builds on the success of last year's inaugural Vibes Since 1920 collab, which raised more than $4,000 for inclusion initiatives across Chicagoland. The West Coast Pilsner is being led by Ashley Benson from @PhaseThreeBrew.
Applications are OPEN for our 2025 Illinois Diversity in Brewing Scholarship. Help us achieve a more representative craft beer industry in Illinois by applying or passing along to someone who could benefit from the program.
