Great spot. Not a bar but has a shop with the selection of cans. The staff are welcoming and gave us free samples to taste plus a free tour. Loved the visit and drinks!

3rd time I've purchased PW Pilsner & it's tasted so horribly green-apple sour/literally hard to swallow - bummed. But, 3 strikes your out. It was amazing in the other 5+ times I've purchased, but not taking the risk again :/

I haven't been here but I have tried many of there beers, and damn I must say with most breweries there's only maybe 1-2 beers that i think are a hit, but every single beer I have had so far from Pipeworks is good as hell. Lizard king, pineapple fish, haze and mirrors, the sour, I think I had one more, magnificent! 10/10

Made a recent pickup at the brewery, you can order online on their website. Al brought my order out, and was super friendly, they had even put in some extras. Top notch quality and variety, support your local brewery!

Did a pickup order for the first time a few weeks back. Great experience with the service & the site. It was my first time trying their beer. Definitely ordering soon. I tried both Mini Unicorn & Unicorn vs Ninja. Very tasty!

For sure this is one of the more unique Chicago breweries. It doesn't have a taproom, only to go bottles and cans. Pipeworks isn't a gathering place like many breweries that have a taproom. Just a place to grab a few. The beers can be found in many bars but get a few of the less common ones on site. Beware this is just a place to pick up a few beers to have later. It has a room to have a few samples but it's not open as much. The beer is most often sold in four packs. It's about $12, which is a pretty good deal for a few microbrewery beers. Last time I picked up a few packs. Because the sampling room isn't open anymore I just bought it and left. The first was A Foolish Wit. It's a Belgian style wit ale. There were notes of amchoor powder, coriander, orange peel, and sumac. One pack of course wasn't enough. The other one was the Ninja Vs. Unicorn. It's their double IPA. This one was pretty strong. Be careful. This is stronger than it looks. Can be quite an adventure to get here. It's off Pulaski on McLean. This isn't far from Orkenoy and the 606 bike trail.

I’ve never been to this brewery, only got their beer in Trader Joe’s. Really great cans design love it. And actually the idea of the pale ales is great. But I tried their mosaic and citra - both are not even close to this kind of beer. Believe me, I know what am I talking about.

Stopped by today for the first time after having had some of there beers before (great beers, finally made it!) and it was an awesome experience even though it was only a bottle shop. I asked for recommendations, and was pointed to some fantastic beers. Awesome staff, and exceptional beers.

Another great Chicago brewery! Steve and I delved into one of their beers here, the Fluffo Sando and was highly impressed with this stout! All sorts of complexity in flavor with this beer which made it such a fun one to drink. What are some of the ingredients? Caocao nibs, peanut butter, vanilla, lactose and marshmallow. All these things gives this beer a S'mores-eque kind of flavor with a nutty influence. So very fun to drink and would love to explore more beers from this brewery which I'm sure are wonderful!
