Half Acre Beer Co. is a community based brewing company in the Northcenter neighborhood of Chicago. We recently built a new brewery and are working on a store where folks can come for a tour and pick up some beer on their way out. Hope to see you before too long.

Chicago is a town with hearty characteristics. We encounter an array of rich experiences that deserve an ample, specific reward. We aim to provide hand-crafted beer that pairs well with robust lives.

Our website is designed to share information about our beer, company and the various projects we’re involved with. Please feel free to contact us for any reason. We hope you enjoy.

First Brews
We're happy to announce that the new brewery on Lincoln Ave is now fully functional and kicking out beer. We still have construction that needs to take place, but the brewery is operable. We brewed an EPA last week, but that is only available for sampling at the brewery. We brew our commemorative release this week. The beer is BAUME', a hoppy rye stout that will be available in 22oz bombers and on draft only. Don't miss this beer. Make sure to check out the blog for more details and ramblings.

Festival Of Barrel Aged Beers
The Illinois Craft Brewers Guild, which we are part, is hosting the annual Festival of Barrel Aged Beers on Saturday November 8th. I'd encourage you guys to grab a ticket and come on out. Barrel aging beers is a unique way to handle beer. Both the wood and prior use of the barrel can create flavors unattainable through other methods.
Chicago is an important town in the history of barrel aging beer, and this years FOBAB will host more than 100 beers from some of the country's best brewers.

You can read about it and buy tickets here.

See you there for some deep dark beers
