Fodor's Travel: Although Anheuser-Busch bought it a few years ago, Goose Island Beer Company is the granddaddy of Chicago’s craft beer scene, and it’s still well worth a trip to the Lincoln Park brewpub.

Fodor's Travel: Stop by the taproom for the freshest Daisy Cutter Pale Ale on the market, as well as a selection of beers that are nearly impossible to find anywhere else in the city.
Fodor's Travel: There are free tours here throughout the week, but note that only the weekday tours involve tastings. Live music and classic pub fare, like hot pretzels, round out the Lagunitas Chicago experience.
Fodor's Travel: The bar’s selection of around 400 different bottled beers and 64 on draft will satisfy even the most discerning beer fan, especially one who is hankering for a good Belgian ale.
Fodor's Travel: Stop by for Beer School with Greg Browne, the brewmaster at Mickey Finn’s Brewery, to learn about the different styles of beer—tickets are sold at the bar on a first-come, first-served basis.
Fodor's Travel: The bacon-fat popcorn is mind-blowing and pairs well with the crispy pork belly sandwich or the Iron Fist fish and chips with roasted red pepper remoulade and honey-jalapeño slaw.

Fodor's Travel: It can be hard to find a good thin crust in the land of deep dish, but Piece Brewery and Pizzeria specializes in thin, New Haven-style pizza (with ample garlic) and brews its own beer to go with it.
Fodor's Travel: Those who spend a lot of time here can join the Local 737 Beer Drinker’s Union, a customer-loyalty program that allows members to try new beers with brewmaster Pete Crowley before they’re tapped.
