Skeleton Key Brewery

Skeleton Key Brewery Craft microbrewery and taproom in Woodridge, IL. Food pop-ups often; BYOFood anytime! We’ve got more doors in mind, too…

We're a microbrewery and taproom that opened September 2016 in Woodridge, a western suburb of Chicago. A skeleton key is a single key that can open many different doors—which is what we aspire to be. Our taproom is one such door, through which you can find delicious beer, camaraderie and community. Our classes are another, through which you can develop an even deeper appreciation for craft beer an

d get into the nitty-gritty of how to make it. And our incubator is the third door, through which a several other breweries have made their own dream of opening a brewery a reality.

It's the start of a brand new week, and in just 2 days, we have Workout Wednesday: Intro to Pilates w/ Club Pilates Woodridge (and Beer!)

There are only a few spots left if you would like to join us, sign-ups are online only at skb.social/class (sorry ya gotta copy and paste the link, but you can blame Meta 🙄)

Pilates is a low-impact exercise method that builds core strength, improves flexibility, enhances posture, and supports mental well-being through controlled movements and mindful breathing. It is suitable for all fitness levels (and helps prevent injuries!). Check out all the deets in the event page above.

Perhaps today IS a good day for a Hefe!

The SKB taproom is open from 4pm to 10pm this evening and among our 10 beers on tap this week, be sure and stop in for a pour of one of our Summer faves, "Bavarian Breeze"!

This delightful Hefeweizen is our annual collab with our pals from Goldfinger Brewing Company and is absolutely perfect for a patio sipper as the Summer sneaks away from us. Leave your mid-week work woes with other willing workmates this Wednesday and come treat yourself to a pour!

Need a break from the week already? Us too. Join us tonight for Quiet Time Tuesday from 3-7pm, when we turn our vocal cords off and turn the relaxing waaaayyyy up.

Though we're not usually open on Tuesdays, today we are temporarily transforming the Lounge into a nearly-silent oasis where you can grab a drink and enjoy a few chapters of your current read, dig into a project, or just chill for a bit.

Order beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages via our text-based ordering system without having to talk to a single soul. Light, atmospheric music plays in the background to mask ambient sounds, but headphones are always an option, too.

If you're feeling chatty, we invite you to visit us tomorrow instead, when we revert to our normal, conversational selves.

For more info about Quiet Time Tuesdays, including upcoming dates, check our website :)

The SKB taproom is open tonight from 4pm to 10pm, so cut outta work a bit early and come see us for your first beer of the work week 🤪

We are also excited to announce our next 90.9 WDCB Live Jazz Night in the Brewery (click the event for full details!) coming on Tuesday, September 8th! This time, the Thaddeus Tukes Quartet will be performing in the Lounge at Skeleton Key and WDCB will be broadcasting it over the airwaves on 90.9FM from 7 to 8pm, with an additional set of music from 8:15 to 9pm!

As always, this show is 21+ and free to attend, but there is only VERY limited standing room available in the Lounge on a first-come, first-served basis. You can, however, reserve seating for this one-time event (full tables available, too!), and you can choose where you want to sit when you reserve your seats in advance. Seat reservations will go live tomorrow (8/25) at noon at skb.social/jazz

There ain't a lotta weather guarantees in this crazy Chicagoland Summer of Two Thousand Twenty-six, but damn if today doesn't look like our potential for a pleasantly sunny day is nigh INVULNERABLE 🥄
