7 Best Craft Breweries near Highwood

“I love coming to Broken Tee for their Wednesday trivia nights. They have a good selection of drinks and of their food I've only tried their appetizers. I like that they have many options and my favorites where the Elote Cheese Bite and the cheese curds. I've received great service everytime I go and appreciate the cleanliness of the place too. Once it gets nice out I look forward to enjoying the outdoor seating.“

“My wife and self have been going to DC since they have opened and are mug club members (they keep and wash mugs for each visit). We visit a couple times a month for the great food, even better beer, and incredible service. By far the best beer I've ever had from top to bottom! Scott, master brewer is a magician! Steve, GM makes us feel like family along with Nick, Jake, Olive, Henry, Matt.....EVERYONE! Brunch and lunch/dinner menus are fantastic as everything is great. Love the burgers, nachos, and cauliflower wings. We have been there for Bears games (1/2 price beer if mug club member), other sporting events, brewery tours, our sons School Of Rock concerts in the Bier Hall, Tuesday bingo, and many other events. Everything is always so great! And let's not forget about the car museum that houses 6-8 cars and rotates out different cars frequently. Fantastic is you're a car enthusiast or not. If you want the best tasting beer by FAR in the area along with fanatic food, wonderful ambiance (with the vaulted sun roof ceiling and garage doors that open with nice weather), and better people, you must try Double Clutch. Cheers!“

“We had an amazing time here for our Honeymoon!!! Darrik was so hospitable and knew a lot about the beers on tap. The other staff were also very friendly and gave suggestions on where to eat breakfast (local only was what we wanted.) We came back for other food suggestions and ended up eating here and boy was it delicious. The smash burger had tones of flavor and so did my wife’s wrap. This is definitely a stop again and if you like local this is the place. I did sample some beers and if you are a micro brew guy and like IPA, they don’t disappoint. They are an easy walk off the Metra also so if you want to sip and dip, great choice!“

“Never knew this little gem existed until last night. Fantastic live band on the patio on a beautiful night. Was slightly confused with the single-file line leading from one corner of the bar and out into the venue 20 people deep? I believe I saw three bartenders working and I'm having a hard time doing the math on this one. I've worked enough bars back in the day and can't recall seeing a single-file line. Maybe next time they can guide the patrons over the full space of the bar area. Just some costructive thoughts ?“

“I spent the day out with my two dogs hiking, adventuring, playing and I was STARVING. Chris at District Brew Yards went above and beyond to accommodate me as a solo patron with two (muddy) dogs. I can’t say how impressed I was with the service provided, food, and atmosphere. 100% I’ll be back.“

“Great beer (the only thing you really need), and it definitely has the low-key vibe you seek. While it is a small space, they make it work and have every board game you can think of. I even take my kids occasionally since they can play with games. Fun spot, check it out.“

“Drove over an hour here because of the rave review my friend gave us to try the food here. Our server Maria was so friendly and welcoming.We started off with the cheese curds and the morning after is a must try appetizer. The truffle burger was delish and the salmon with the fingerling potaoes were amazzzing. Ace guava and frozen tundra are the beers we tried and they also did not disappoint.“
