Garage looking type of brewery in Niles in some industrial type of building. It seems there's a lot…read moreof these, but this is among the good ones. Une Annee is one of the reasons to go to this pretty boring looking suburb. Hit up the bar for some cold ones plus on site made food. The prices aren't bad for craft beers and kitchens. A pretty impressive looking building. It's big and can fit hundreds. This is like a massive garage with a bar and a kitchen. First though it's a brewery. It's about $6 a pint. The one I liked the most was the Twist Of Wit. It's a wheat beer with Cara Cara oranges, coriander, and Meyer lemon. Tasted fruity but not too much. Also we got some food, which was actually good for a brewery. Vegan options are limited but there's a few. It's $6 for the Veggie Chili. This is vegan without the sour cream sauce. Also there's barbecue. There's pork belly and that kind of stuff. Beers are the best things to get here. It also has food from an on site kitchen. There's meaty options like pork and there's chili for vegetarians.

My lovely wife and I finally made it to Une Année Brewery the other day, as we tagged along with…read morefriends who have frequented this somewhat tucked away establishment in suburban Niles. The day we came happened to be the day of the Kentucky Derby (side note - I picked the winning horse, though I did not bet on it!), so there was a good crowd of adults and kids alike. Although we did not order any food, the food selections coming from the kitchen looked good. Our friend favors the smoked sweet potato dish. I did like the sour kriek, though the Fresh IPA was so good that we bought a 4-pack to take home. Service was pleasant and efficient, and there is also a spacious outdoor patio.

The space is welcoming, well-laid-out, and perfect for real conversations -- not just quick handshakes. Our members love the atmosphere, and it makes it easy to connect, collaborate, and support local business the way it should be done. And the new addition of wine on the menu? Smart move. Not everyone is a beer drinker, and that small adjustment makes a big difference in making everyone feel included. We appreciate the hospitality and look forward to making Sketchbook one of our regular spots. If you haven't checked them out yet, you're missing a good one.

Extra points for their private parking lot, which felt pretty exclusive in this part of town! The space itself is open and airy, with plenty of space to grab a table or belly up the bar.

We ordered from the bar, and were given recommendations that held up to our expectations! Nice diversity of beer available, which we appreciated after going to a few spots that only focused on one kind of beer. We had the Reef Knot, which was a lovely, light summer beer and the Slow Melt, a Pale Ale with a bit of haze! Both were lovely and perfect to sip during our game!

Macushla is one of those that's just focused on the beers and that's a great thing. Location isn't that big but still can fit tons of people in here. The beers are more than just IPAs and other stuff. Basically it's kind of hidden behind a shopping center. It's located next to Hackney's. They will deliver food over here because there's not a kitchen. Inside here there's lots of seating areas. They have the bar area, a few tables, and a patio. A lot of variety in the beers. It's about $7 a pint. Best one of these we had was the Chalk Eater. This is a classic IPA. So many more to choose. There's also lagers. For sure it's one of the best places around here to get beers. It's open daily which is excellent because you can always go. They're located on Lake east of Waukegan.
