The 22 Best Breweries In Chicago

"There are plenty of reasons to love Pilot Project in Logan Square. Their space has plenty of tables and comfy couches where you can get "work" done with a beer, and they have a massive outdoor patio for hanging out after getting “work” done. The short food menu is full of tasty dishes like tandoori naan with garlic dip or a sandwich with beer-braised chuck roast and caramelized onions. But the coolest thing about Pilot Project is that it’s actually an incubator for up-and-coming breweries. This means you can get a basmati rice lager from Azadi Brewing and a Spanish sangria tea IPA from Brewer’s Kitchen all on the same flight." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor
