What this brewery lacks in diversity of beer selection (by design as it is specifically German/Bavarian) it makes up for with fantastic quality beer and an awesome patio... If you happen to be in Chicago during the 75% of the year where it is impossible to sit outside (1/10 do not recommend) you are still in luck because the tap room is sweet as well... Personal favorite brewery in the city.

Is there a dock there? Or a place to tie up the kayaks?

No dock yet. That project is in the purview of our landlord, so we're just kinda waiting to see how it plays out. We know docks are in the plan, though, so keep on swinging by to check out the progress! - Tracy

Does Metropolitan claim to follow the "reinheitsgebot" for beer making; using only water, hops, barley, and yeast? My friend says that no modern American brewery , despite all good intentions, can make that claim.

Robert Kleisch | Oct 5, 2018
Metropolitan Brewing | Oct 5, 2018

Brewing Reinheitsgebot is easy. Most of our beers follow the "beer purity law" just because that's the way the recipes fell out. We don't adhere to Reinheitsgebot, though. For example, we use rye in Arc Welder Dunkel Rye. While we love the air of mystique, here, brewing beer the ole German way is just as utilitarian, efficient, and smart as you might imagine. Thanks for the great question! See you soon, hopefully! - Tracy, President

Where is it? I've driven past Rockwell and I can't find it? How's the parking situation?

Hector M. | Oct 5, 2018
Brian Nielsen | Oct 5, 2018

You need to walk back through an alley then through a building under construction to get to it. There are signs. Street parking is okay, maybe not great but definitely ok.
