    Just discovered this brewery and I love it. So many events happening here! Trivia on Thursday, Saturday yoga, music bingo on Wednesday, and just plain comfortable vibe. The staff knows their beer too. The Hickster (cream ale), and the Cinnamon Apple French Toast, and the Blueprint are yummy! Love the smaller size option that is available for tasting. Cool area with lights at night. Yesterday they had someone grilling on the patio. Getting together a group to do trivia there is fun. The questions are not too hard, but are challenging enough! Love the change up of the Food trucks there and live music on the weekend. Food Truck by The Curious Crow was there on Mom's Day, had a great time with my son trying out beers and food. Delicious grilled truffle cheeses Sammy and he had a Nashville Chicken Sandwich! Beer rocks here!

    New disposable menus. First weekend of reopening!

    Our favorite local brewery! Tonight we celebrated my hubby getting off his braces. Today is also IPA day, so we both got their Giant Killer IPA. They make a great NEIPA. Not sure why I never wrote a review before now. We come here several times a month. Friendly employees. Indoor and outdoor seating. Social distancing. Hand sanitizer available. Spots on the floor in the queue line for distancing.

    Scorched Earth is a fun little brewery located near the bike path. In the summer, we love when the poke nachos truck is there. WunderPilz and Pils are favorites of ours. We love the live music on weekends

    This is one of the many breweries along the Fox River Trail that I frequent. I normally sit outside with my bike in their beer garden or along the parkway. Very relaxing surroundings even though it's located in a small industrial area. They have a wide variety of beer styles on-tap or, occasionally, from can pours. Very friendly staff that seem pretty knowledgeable of the beer. The taproom is clean and spacious. Apparently, they don't take cash (according to some 1-star review) but, TBH, who really carries cash anymore? On my rides, I bring my DL (for when I get carded as a 61 year old), my insurance card (for if I get hit by something), and a credit card (to purchase tasty beverages).

    I have been getting into the craft breweries. It wasn't too long ago I hated the taste of beer but I can say that this is no longer the case. I like this one so much I came two nights in a row. Night 1 i had Life's A Peach (fruited Ale) and liked it so much I came home with a growler. On night 2 I had to try their new Stout (Bonfire S'Mores) and a few IPA's Flipmode and We Got 5 On It (IPA Milkshake): both were awesome but the IPA Milkshake was amazing (among best beers I have liked). They have a food truck out front, Night 2 had live music, on Night 1 we brought in food and ate it there. This place is close to us and we will be here often.

    It's a good size place done in a combination of rustic and industrial with barnwood and metal. The selection of beers on tap is one of the larger compared to others. They have both an large indoor seating along with a good size outdoor seating area. The wall art catches your attention when you walk in

    Very nice brewery I visited for the first time tonight. Great selection and variety of craft beers. I really liked the Agent Ya-Kuza which was a matcha nitro milk stout. They also offered a variety of sours which you don't find often (according to my beer connoisseur friend who came along with me). Definitely worth checking out in Algonquin. We came to also watch a friend perform live. That was a nice touch.

We sat at the bar had a bottle Majestic wine, along with Crispy Chicken Asian Salad (swapped shrimp instead of chicken, considering I had a cup of the Shrimp and Corn Chowder with a little peppery kick. Yum! My wife had her favorite Chef's salad (minus bacon) which is truly a wonderful salad! Both of which are filling for a dinner! As always, the atmosphere is welcoming and filled with many regulars - and for good reason. Great food, service and atmosphere! Now on Saturday nights and Sundays on occasion they have musical entertainment.

I ordered a Philly CheeseSteak Sandwich and not even close . The steak was , best guess maybe sirloin or something other than a Ribeye . If not Rib-eye they should just call it a Steak Sandwich . For $20.00 I was so very disappointed with what it was and portion they served ( pictures attached ) . Questions I have is ( where is the beef( steak ) menu mentioned Provolone Cheese , I can't find it . Long and short I paid $15.00 for about 3oz. Of some steak meat and $5.00 for the veg on a French roll you could buy at any grocery store . It was horrible . I'm sure they have other items that may meet the mark but this disastrous Philly non Sandwich was terrible . Please take a look.

    It was our first time coming to Spirit Water for a Friday night Funnier By The Lake Comedy show…read more The atmosphere is very laid back, but festive with the lights and layout, and I love the comfy couch corner area. I appreciate that the place is dog friendly too. The owners and staff here are fantastic and make you feel immediately welcomed. They take time to educate you on their selections and share some of the unique history of this place. I enjoyed the bourbon, on ice, very much, and also tried a shot of amaretto and a tequila. I will definitely be back to try more of their spirits, as everything I tried was smooth, flavor filled, and just left me wanting more! Thank you, Spirit Water, and Funnier By The Lake Comedy, for a memorable Friday night experience.

    Thought we'd check this place out before heading to dinner. Great idea! Bartender Kevin was very…read moreknowledgeable and had great suggestions. Loved the fact that he asked if we had ever been - he gave us the low down and explained the drink menu. They have lots of different choices for beer & spirits. The Amaretto Stone Sour (receipt said 10 oz for $12 - it was more like 5 ounces) & Vodka Elderflower ($6) were both very good. They also sell spirits by the bottle, hats & other items. Great place to pick up something local! The place doesn't appear to serve food and they have a couple seating areas away from the bar both inside & outside where you congregate with friends. I will admit I had a tough time picking just one drink to have so I will be back!
