Beer History

The Chicago Brewseum offers fascinating insights into how beer has always flowed through humanity’s veins. In barrels and in bars, beer has built Chicago, our region, our country, and our world since day one. We share these local, regional, national and international stories.

Beer COMMUNITY

Chicago has always played a vital role in the history of the American beer industry. The Chicago Brewseum connects visitors with the history and culture of beer throughout place and time and we often focus on our vibrant local, regional, and national community.

Beer Culture

While the future physical museum will fill heads with history and culture, the brewpub will fill glasses with world-class beers and host exciting events. It will be a natural extension of the cultural institution and both will be places where people come together to celebrate beer.
