One of the 350-plus locations you can find the summer issue of Illinois Brewing is the cozy (and reportedly haunted) @wolfdenbrewco in west suburban Bloomingdale. Solid specials and food too, in addition to one of the best, most underrated beer gardens in the state.

One of the 350+ locations around the state you’ll find the summer issue of Illinois Brewing is @thebeertemple in Chicago, one of the more respected taprooms and bottle shops around. And did we mention the crunchy Detroit-style pizza from @middle__brow 

Hoppy beers of choice on this day were @pipeworksbrewing Citra on Repeat hazy IPA, @suncatcherbrewing New Zealand pale ale, @3floydsbrewing Rye da Tiger rye IPA and @2ndshiftbrewing Art of Neurosis

Giddy to be headed to the @greattastemw this weekend like we are? Don’t forget, if you’re going up on Friday, there are several pre-fest events going on around Madison with tastings, releases, tap takeovers, etc. Check in for updated info and let us know what breweries you’re most excited to see this year at the Great Taste of the Midwest

Date: Sunday, Aug. 2
Time: 10: 21 a.m. following a round of early-morning golf
Location: The @eaglewoodresort restaurant in west suburban Itasca

Beer of choice: The crisp and refreshing Heavenly Helles lager from @churchstbrew — which paired perfectly with one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches we've ever had

Only bummer: Nearby Church Street and @wolfdenbrewco weren't quite open yet

One of the nearly 400 locations across the state where you can find the current issue of Illinois Brewing magazine is @begylebrewing in Chicago’s North Center/Ravenswood neighborhood (aka Malt Row) where these two lovely ladies poured us a pint of the new batch of Lovely Afternoon, a seasonal pale ale that’s one of our favorites. Just a short walk from Wrigley, Begyle is a perfect pit stop on the way to or from a Cubs game
