5121 N Ravenswood Ave, @ Winona - Chicago, IL
We've always admired the Ravenswood Industrial Corridor. Along the Metra tracks and pretty much dissecting the Ravenswood neighborhood, this area is a unique "urban preserve" of light industrial business. Imagine our amazement when we actually landed a space in the Corridor.
For now, we don't have official visiting hours. While it's just the two of us doing everything - brewing, packaging, sales calling, bookkeeping, etc. - we can't set aside regular hours for folks to drop by. If we can, we'll accommodate special tours for groups such as bachelor/ette parties, birthday parties, and pub crawls. Please email us if you would like to bring a group to Metro as a stop along your route.
If you would like to bring your bar/restaurant staff in for a personalized visit, please email us. Please put "attn Tracy" and the name of your location in the subject line.
Just a few months after we acquired our brewery space, we discovered that a micro distillery had moved into the space right next to us - in the same building. Yes, you read that right. Koval is our liquor-doppelgänger; a husband/wife team getting a small booze business off the ground. They produce liqueurs made from rose hip, ginger, and pear; grain spirits made from oat, spelt, wheat, and rye; a vodka made with rye; and Bierbrand made with Dynamo Copper Lager. Check out their website for a map of their retail locations. We guarantee that you'll be inspired to create brand new cocktails. We were, anyway. Try mixing the Rose Hip liqueur with Dynamo - we call it a Rosy Winona.
