Crystal Lake Brewing

"Really fun vibe! We ordered a flight to try some of their beers which ended up being a win! Ended our night playing some shuffleboard. Fun place and I’m sure when the weather is nice the patio is equally a fun spot to hang out. Everyone was very friendly and you get a cool view of the brewery sitting at the bar."

"Update: took me a year but I finally made it back for a visit. The beers just as good as I remember it. Due to the weird Illinois liquor licensing they don't serve anything other than beer or cider. The cider is gluten-free and the couple that I tasted were very good. Had been in town for a few hours. Tried one of their beers at the hotel. Two others at the restaurant. Super excited to go to the brewery but unfortunately it was a slow Monday night and instead of closing at 10:00 they closed up at 9:00. Would have started my night here but they don't serve any food so went to dinner first. Looks cool from the outside. Hope to get back next time I'm in the area."

"FYI: No food served in house, but they have a wall of delivery takeout places! Love their homebrew choices, plenty to try and they are all, so far, favorable combinations of ales and hops!"

"Love this brewery! Delicious brews with lots of selection. They even have non alcoholic options if needed. Seating indoors and outdoors. You can even bring your dog! Always clean with friendly service! No food available for purchase, but you can bring your own food, order for delivery, or purchase from a food truck if available."

"Great place for a beer, indoor and outdoor areas have a great setup. Hazy IPA Delicious. Food truck great too."
