Hairy Cow Brewing Company 450 East Blackhawk Drive, Byron, IL 61010

"Solid choice and just ANOTHER reason why Byron, llinois is a hidden gem for food, fun, and friendly-folk. This food compares well with Chucago fare for 40% of the price of those "big city bistros". Great coffee as well."

"Great food, great service, and simply the best pizza, the soft pretzel is amazing too, all the brews are a must try, plus my wife loves Highland cows go try it, no disappointments!! And also the coffee is top notch."

"A great go-to anytime for any occasion. I've never had a bad experience here. The warm, real woodburning fireplace is comforting. It's fun to watch the pizza dough being tossed, and you can watch them cooking the pizza in a real wood-fired oven. The service is great, they are always friendly. The only issue we often run into is that there is not enough parking, and the place is so packed in the evenings on Fridays and Saturdays that it can be long wait times. I highly recommend their spinach salad appetizer! Love the American Hairy IPA, always a good go-to. Honestly, can't say I have had a pizza that I don't like from there. Don't forget to check out the pizza of the month!"

"First time stopping at this brewery. Fantastic atmosphere. Beers are great and even had them package up a growler for later. Wood oven pizza was excellent. I would recommend stopping by if you are in the area."
