You may have seen this tiny brewery's beers pop up on a menu or two around the city. I first saw it at Half Sour down in South Loops, where they told me it was a small operation in the area without a public space. Since then, they have opened this taproom in Jefferson Park. Yeah yeah, the location doesn't match the name, but did Twisted Hippo have giant pink hippopotami walking around? I think not.
Anyway, park on the street out front or in the parking lot around back and make your way inside to discover ample seating for the size of the building. There are plenty of different beers on tap from many different styles. Order a full pint, half pour, or even a flight of all of them if you're so inclined.
If you get bored, there are plenty of board games to play with your friends. While there is no kitchen, some light snacks are offered. You can also bring your own food if you like.
Be sure to stop in if you're ever in the area!
