We are solicited daily by new breweries local and not that hope to be among our draft offerings at Hopleaf. It is getting more and more difficult for a brewery to stand out in the crowd. Friday, we'll be pouring for the first time anywhere in Chicago, beers from Oxbow Brewing. Oxbow brews Belgian farmhouse style ales in a renovated barn in rural Maine. We think you'll find them authentic and delicious. Stop by Friday to try them.

We will pretty much all be there. Will you?

Special Allagash beers on draft that night include Hoppy Table Beer, Farm to Face, Little Brett, Hive 56 and of course, one of Hopleaf's most beloved mainstays, Allagash White. (Plus Allagash is our bottle brewery of the month with special prices on those lovely beers that generally don't show up on draft.)

Rolling out to Chicagoland this week!!!

Xtra-Citra is back for good. Reading that sentence should take you to one of two places. It could bring to mind “Back for Good,” the only American hit by British boy band Take That. The pretend rain is gonna ruin that hat, bro. The more beer-focused place is a feeling of sun-dappled, untethered joy,...

Lagunitas 12th of Never has arrived in 12pk cans! This beer is a blend of Old and New School hops that play bright citrus, rich coconut, and papaya-esque flavors, all on a solid stage of English puffed wheat. Tropically hoppy. Light, yet full-bodied. Bright and citrusy.

Forbidden Root's Wildflower Pale Ale is now available in 6pks for the first time! WPA entices with a bright, refreshing, citrusy hop aroma that's given added depth from the subtle addition of Elderflower, Marigold, and Sweet Osmanthus flowers. The flavor builds to a crisp bitterness but has just enough clean maltiness to balance. Don't forget to visit their restaurant and brewery in Chicago's West Town neighborhood!

Great work to the whole crew at Forbidden Root - delicious, refreshing, and getting the press it deserves.

What it is: Money on My Rind was released in mid-July as Forbidden Root's third year-round beer, and just in time — it's a pitch-perfect summer beer. Money on My Rind follows a traditional wit recipe, but with two key tweaks: grapefruit peel (and grapefruit juice) replace orange peel, and juniper re...

The party has begun with Oskar Blue's Priscilla! This is an American take on the Belgian Classic Wit, featuring orange peel and coriander spice. Priscilla's zesty citrus and light fresh baked bread aromas mix with spicy, fruity fermentation. White Wit Wheat. Fit for the King himself.

Relax tonight with Whiner's Le Tub! This Wild Farmhouse Ale is a slightly sour blended barrel-aged wild saison. You'll want to bathe your mouth in it.
