We found some brew crew totes in storage and are giving them away with a purchase of a draft pour this weekend!
Friday at the Jungle Taproom SomosMonos is launching a pineapple sour made with the last lacto culture we used to create Le Tub for a decade! Might wanna try it…. It has some similarities to Monsieur Monster 😉
Grab a pizza from and make a night out of it❤️

Le Tub🛁🫧❤️

When you start a brewery/taproom you don’t realize the personal memories created with your customers. First dates in our taproom became weddings in our taproom… multiple times! Regulars become best friends. And employees continue coming in long after moving on to other jobs. All these people are a part of our lives. The taproom was responsible for bringing otherwise random strangers together. What more could we ask for?
Truly thank you to everyone who made Whiner Beer a part of your lives.

Now we pass the torch to
The taproom is in good hands. we can’t wait to see them make the same memories for the next 10 years (and hopefully beyond)

See you Sunday for our last official day as Whiner Beer Co.

Our Succession to Le Tub was a lovely watermelon sour saison called Bubble Tub. This will be our last generation of the Tub variant. Always launching in March, Bubble Tub is our way of welcoming spring after tough Chicago winters. Launching this Friday on draft (sorry no cans).
And it just so happens to be Karaoke night!

Also some great news! will be open on Wednesdays starting this week!

Let’s make March a month to remember

After y’all ransacked our cooler the past weekend we regrouped and packaged more Le Tub! Along with some other Whiner Beer favorites available to-go. We still have plenty of draft beer and hope to see you this week! We’ll keep packaging more if you keep buying it, up until March 29th. And Friday will be playing live from 8-11pm!
Le Luv to all of you!

To all our friends and fans of Whiner Beer Company. The time has come to say goodbye and thank you for the last 10 years.

Whiner Beer Co. will be closing on March 29th. The last few years have been so difficult but we gave it our best shot. We could write a bunch of reasons why we are closing but it’s a familiar story in the brewing industry.
The Chicago craft beer scene is one of the best in the world. We are happy to be included in it for so many years. Working side by side with countless creative people is what makes craft beer so great.

From our taproom regulars on the south side to our Le Tub fans on the north side, we are so thankful for your support.

Back of the Yards is our home and we will miss this neighborhood the most. From the Covid years to the ICE raids, Back of the Yards showed how resilient a community can be. The future is bright here in BOTY. Last summer SomosMonos Cerveceria joined us in the brewery/taproom. Born and raised in Back of the Yards, they helped create a neighborhood space for local artists and bands. We hope they can work out a plan to stay here.

In the meantime we would love to see everyone a few more times before we close! Check out our calendar post for all the fun stuff we have planned the next month. We’ll throw one last get together on March 28th.
Cheers to everyone!
