    The weather is here, and the patio at @uneannee Brewery in Niles is beckoning. So are the steak fajita tacos, on special Tuesday-Thursday. Pair them up with a One Hop Citra IPA, Twist of Wit or Lime Pils and you're set.

    One of the more than 300 breweries, bottle shops, bars and festivals you can find a copy of Illinois Brewing is the award-winning @mikerphonebrewing in Elk Grove Village, where you can also pick up your summer passport from the @ilcraftbeer Guild and some of the best hazy IPAs you'll find anywhere (and don't forget the uber-popular Italian pilsner called Mambo Italiano).
