After 6 years in the industry, making strange and delicious beer for the odd and wonderful people of Chicago, Illuminated Brew Works is finally opening a tap room in this faire city.

Hiding in the Norwood Park neighborhood on Chicago’s North side, the IBW Lodge #1 is your best option for enjoying the wide variety of style-bending beers IBW has become known for over the years. Enjoy the staples like Fruit Creep, Brony, Orange Sunshine, Trust, and Junior Astronaut, and stick around for the one-off experiments available only in our tap room.

Our cozy, bow-trussed Lodge is the perfect place to turn off your phone, relax and float down stream. Take a break from this world and it’s kennel of loud opinions and bend an elbow with strange old friends and new old strangers.

Belly up at the bar or pick-up a 4-pack or a Growler for home. Learn to speak backwards without that annoying accent or understand, once and for all, that the world is not flat, it’s just the chip in your head malfunctioning again.

Come on down to the Illuminated Brew Works Lodge #1, enjoy some beer and don’t be a jerk!
