When in the Lake Geneva or Delavan area, it’s always on our mind to swing by the friendly @duesterbecksbrewingco — uniquely located on a 164-year-old family farm outside of Elkhorn. A lively taproom, pavilion, patio with outdoor stage, brewery, gift shop, and hops yard are all there to enjoy.

The big fall issue of Illinois Brewing is out this week, but a few people — Norm, Cliff and Sam included — are still enamored with the fall magazine. Can’t blame them, even in Boston

It's fantasy football draft time. What are you drinking while you assemble your roster for the season? For us, it was Haze of the Dead, a tasty double NEIPA that's part of the Dead Head IPA series from @destihlbrewery in Normal. Just two more drafts to go...

When you’re grilling out, two things are always important (besides the company, of course): proper seasoning and a proper drink. Tonight, it was St. Elmo’s Steakhouse all-purpose seasoning and a stellar hazy IPA from @pollyannabrewingcompany

Brewery bite of the week: The shrimp po boy, new sweet corn pasta salad, and a lime pilsner from @uneannee in Niles. And did we mention how fantastic the patio is on a night like tonight?

And catch up on their plans for expanding into the old Alarmist space on the NW side of Chicago in the upcoming fall issue.

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.
