All About Beer

With their popularity growing, it is no surprise that the Chicago Southland is home to 15 craft breweries. After exploring the Southland region, a cold, refreshing beer is the perfect way to end the day.

Grab a brew and a bite at Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery in Flossmoor. This former train station was renovated and opened in 1996. With over 80 awards for their hand crafted beers, Flossmoor Station continues to be a favorite location for both locals and travelers alike. As a bonus for dog lovers, Flossmoor Station is one of many Chicago Southland locations that allows furry friends to tag along on the patio throughout the summer. Evil Horse Brewing Company in Crete is also located in a historical building, with portions of the property dating back to 1911. Evil Horse frequently hosts game nights and $3 beer specials, along with the occasional live band or tour of the brewery. While Evil Horse does not serve their own food, local restaurant delivery is available. Raise a pint, growler, or stein and toast good times with good friends with the Chicago Southland Suds Buds pass and earn a Southland swag prize package!
