Dovetail Brewery

"Dovetail Brewery uses traditional European brewing methods to make historical styles like Grodziskie, a Polish oak-smoked wheat beer, and Rauchbier, a German-style lager made with smoked malt. Taste them in the dog-friendly biergarten, which is outfitted with both umbrellas and heat lamps or in the tap room, which serves snacks from Beard & Belly and Amy’s Candy Bar." - Samantha Nelson

"Dovetail’s bright Ravenswood space has plenty of bar seating, wooden booths, and huge tables—but it doesn’t feel uncomfortably cavernous. But the best part about this brewery is their massive outdoor space—it’s great for cooling down with a lager in the summer. They focus on European-style beer, and have a few snacks from local spots like Beard and Belly and Hannah’s Bretzel, but their BYOF policy means you can hard launch that watermelon salad your friends have never seen but are tired of hearing about." - josh barnett, adrian kane, john ringor

"Another brewery along the Malt Row corridor in Ravenswood, Dovetail specializes in modern interpretations of German-style lagers. The beer is refreshing and the space is friendly." - Ashok Selvam
