One of the gents behind the bar was very attentive, and liked to geek out on whiskey as much as I do, so it made for a good time. One more thing regarding the selection - everything I picked was in stock, and I don't take this for granted. A number of bars in Chicago boast a huge selection, but your heart gets broken quickly when the barman repeatedly says the selection you've made is out of stock. I'll visit again when I'm in that area if Illinois.

A lot go by and can't believe it's actually here. Trust the map apps and pull in for a few pints. Basically this is as micro as a microbrewery can get. It's pretty much run out of someone's shed. The farm is how this place gets its name, and there's a few interesting artifacts, such as equipment lying around and hanging up on the walls. As expected they only have a few beers. It's about $7 a pint. Best one we had was the Broken Spoke, which is an American pale ale. It's about $5 for pretzels. Cool thing is these are made with actual spent grains. The seating is limited but they have a patio with a few tables. For sure it's a place we would come to again. It's got pretty limited hours only being open Fridays to Sundays. This means the best time to go is weekends.

Where relaxation meets inebriation…read more I hadn't heard of this hidden gem until I was talking to a coworker about breweries and he mentioned this place. It didn't take me long to go from hearing about it to visiting. Emily and I popped in on a beautiful Friday evening after I worked a nice 7-day work stretch. I was needing a beer or two and some unwinding. We used GPS to get here because it was in the middle of Nowhere, Metamora. As we approached, we saw a ton of cars and a food truck in the parking lot. For being out of the way, this place was hopping for a Friday evening. We parked and slowly strolled towards the beer house. Once inside, we took a few minutes to look at the beer menu and pick out what we wanted. I got the Rats in the Attic (plus a sticker) and Emily got the Holla Atcha. Where you order is a small building next to a big farm house. It's small and cozy inside. Once you get your beer, you head outside to either sit in this small converted barn or sit around the property. Emily and I decided to sit outside to soak up the setting sun and enjoy the weather. There are plenty of place to sit, with each area offering a different type of view. Emily and I sat and sipped our delicious beers while debating on getting food from the food truck as we were both hungry after a long day. Plus the first beer was hitting fast and quick and we were signed up for at least two for the night. Emily got the California Steak Bowl and I got the Asian Chicken Wrap. The food truck guy said it wouldn't take too long but that we had time to get another beer. Back into the little house we went. I got another Rats in the Celler as it was hitting all the right spots. Emily switched to the Dang! It's a Good One! fruit beer. We walked back to the truck and grabbed our food and headed back to our spot. The wrap I got had some jalapeno in it and it kicked HARD. I planned to sip my beer but it ended up going down quick to soothe the burn. I tried Emily's bowl and she tried my wrap and we both agreed that we had food envy and after we had a bit of our food, we switched. The bowl was a good way to help cool my mouth down (along with the rest of my beer). As much as we wanted to get a 3rd beer, the two that we got plus the food did us in. As we were walking out, we checked out the little converted barn and it would be the perfect place to have some drinks in rainy or cold weather. There's something rustic and antique about the place that I just loved. It's only been a day since I was there but I am craving to go back ASAP. The fact that this place is a farm area turned into a brewery (but still seems to have some farm activities going on) hits all the right notes, plus having a tasty beer on tap helps a ton. It was super relaxing to just sit there and drink some good beer while having a great conversation in the middle of nowhere.

Emancipation is a brewery not a lot of people have heard of because it's not close to anything of course. Has a surprising amount of variety on tap and in cans to go. They may not have a whole lot but everything is full of flavor and quenches one's thirst. Even with it being a smaller brewery it still has quite a lot. It's got several of their own beers on tap along with a few others. There's also more cans in a refrigerator. Has the basics along with a few interesting ones. More than just the IPAs and the usual. It's about $7 a pint. The Farmer's Favorite is the IPA and is a pretty good medium one that's crisp and smooth. Has a few things to snack on here. It's about $3 for the Krack Mix. Basically like Chex Mix but it's made locally. They also will let you bring in stuff. Great place that's pretty hard to find the first time going here. It's located on N. 2500 East Rd. a few miles north of Fairbury surrounded by corn fields pretty much. They're closed Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.
