Originally Housed In An Alley, Sketchbook Brewing In Illinois Has Grown Into A Must-Visit Brewery With Drinks And Food

There is an artistic brewery in Evanston and Skokie, Illinois that serves some lovely beers. Guests can't help but try a bit of everything here.

If you're a fan of craft brews, this place will be right up your alley. In fact, that's exactly where it got its start. Scroll on to learn more.

Sketchbook Brewing Company has been in business in northeast Illinois since 2014. It has two locations with the second one recently opening.

Both are located in the northern suburbs of Chicago and contain small-batch brewing operations so that all the beer you enjoy is brewed on-site.

This ensures that your glass is always filled with the freshest possible brew.

The interior of each location has an industrial theme that will make you feel like you are dining right in the middle of a beer factory.

Sketchbook Brewing is offering a beer garden due to COVID-19 so that guests can enjoy open-air seating when the weather is nice.

When it comes to the brews, there are always 16 beers on tap, and you can order them in various sizes including growlers and howlers.

Light snacks are available and guests are allowed to bring their own outside food to enjoy. Those under the age of 21 are allowed to enter as long as they do not approach the bar.

Reservations are recommended before arriving at either brewery location. Cidre and kombucha are also available for those not interested in beer.

Sketchbook Brewing Company is open Tuesday through Thursday between 12 p.m. and 10 p.m., Friday between 12 p.m. and 11 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m., and you can get more details on its website or Facebook page. If you've ever been to this artistic brewery, we'd love to hear from you. Please share your experiences and photos with us below in the comments.
