Chicago Tours













After a very informative start your own brewery class at Seibel, Frank Skwirut and I hit the road to tour a couple of breweries. First we drove down to Normal IL and met Matt Potts the founder, CEO and brewmaster at Distihl. Matt was very gracious and showed us around his place and answered all of our questions. We also ate lunch at his place and the food and beer really kicked butt.

We then drove what seemed like forever back to the city. We showed up at Metropolitan Brewing two hours after we said we would get there, but we were greeted by a jubilant Phelps their trusty Morale Officer. Doug took time out of his brewing to show us around, give us a sample, answer a ton of questions and tell a few stories. Including one about the bull made of kegs above his head. To my pleasant surprise Wiz (pic above) from my Siebel Concise course was there working as an intern.
These guys and gals are making some great beer. Pick some up if you are in the Chicago area.
