    Last call: We asked Illinois craft-beer professionals and enthusiasts for the summer brews they look forward to most

    I’m a huge fan of Art History’s Gravitace. I have been drawn to this beer since I first tasted it a few years back. It is the right mix of malt character with a thirst-quenching hop finish. I used to go to the famous Pilsner Urquel for my top summer beer. Now there is a ...

“The Chicago area is the home of several of the best Oktoberfest beers in the country. The best of the best for me are @3floydsbrewing Munsterfest and @haymarketbeer Festbier. Both have that toasty malt with caramel sweetness, with a refreshing finish that has a subtle lemon flavor.” 

— Dan Taylor is author of the craft beer blog Chicago Craft Beer Hunters

“My three go-to local Oktoberfest options are the @morebrewing Oktoberfest, @hopewellbrewing Endgrain and @revbrewchicago Oktoberfest. All three just hit those perfect notes and leave you with a warming in your chest that’s needed on a chilly fall day, but are also easy to drink multiples of in one sitting.”

— Aaron Keefner

“Party Hat, the Oktoberfest from @byersbrewing in DeKalb, is a great beer for fall. I had never tried it until a friend brought some to our NIU football tailgate last September, and I quickly had to go buy some more to stock my fridge with. Easy-drinking Marzen and a fun brewery in downtown DeKalb as well.”

— Brent G.

Had a great time with 60+ of our Illinois craft br Had a great time with 60+ of our Illinois craft brewery friends at the 16th annual Oak Park Micro Brew Review yesterday. Not only is it one of the longest-running beer festivals in Chicagoland, it's also the largest zero-waste craft beer fest in the Midwest. Kudos to putting it all together again.

“The folks at @phasethreebrew have a summer beer for me called called Orange Chantilly. It’s a cream IPA brewed with citra and simcoe hops with a hint of orange and vanilla. It is great on a hot summer day.”

“I’m a huge fan of @arthistorybrewing Gravitace. I have been drawn to this beer since I first tasted it a few years back. It is the right mix of malt character with a thirst-quenching hop finish. I used to go to the famous Pilsner Urquel for my top summer beer. Now there is a match for that beer made right here locally.”

“I’ve been crushing Beach Blond, brewed by my good friends at @crystallakebrewing ... It’s great with most foods on the grill: burgers, brats and tacos, of course.”

Not so shocking discovery: One of the better burge Not so shocking discovery: One of the better burgers in Chicago — and that’s saying something — pairs well with the consistently delicious Oktoberfest from @revbrewchicago at Revolution Brewing’s Brewpub in Chicago’s Logan Square. Great spot for a lunch meeting about the expansion of Illinois Brewing as a media company, future podcast, app and more. Lots on the horizon to be excited about. Now we may just have to stick around for their happy hour specials…
