Crystal Lake Brewing

Crystal Lake Brewing At Crystal Lake Brewing we are passionate about creating world-class beers right here in McHenry Coun
(1854)

We are a production brewery, which is a very different thing than a brewpub. Our focus is on brewing great beer for sale to bars, restaurants and retailers across northern Illinois. But we also have a great place to enjoy our beers here at the brewery; our tap room. Here in the tap room, we offer regular tours of the brewery, and the space is dedicated to providing our guests with a world-class, beer-centered experience. In the tap room, we offer only our beers (no wine or mixed drinks). We don’t have a kitchen, though we encourage guests to bring in their own food or order it in from one of the great local restaurants in downtown Crystal Lake.

To celebrate our 12th anniversary, we are featuring two CLB classics with a twist. First, the Blueberry Blonde returns for a limited time. We are also taking one keg of Slalom King on a tropical vacation! This King has an infusion of a brand new hop oil, giving us bright tropical notes of mango, guava and pineapple. Keeping with our food truck favorites, enjoy Toasty Cheese on Friday, 5-8pm and Little Rock Stock BBQ on Saturday, 3-7pm.
