Lionstone Brewing

Cool place, upscale and good people

 

 

I was in the neighborhood for work and saw this when driving around town. I had nothing else to do, so I dropped in.

It was late on a Wednesday, close to closing time. There weren't a whole lot of people left, but I just wanted to try the beer. The bartender was really nice and gave me several samples to try. I first had an IPA variant which was good, and he gave me a sample of the double IPA. Which was my next pour! Amazing. He also gave me one of their chocolate candies as I left. I may buy some of those next time I'm there!

I only had so much time and stomach space left, so I didn't get to sample much more than that. But they had a wide selection of maybe 20 different beers. The atmosphere was what I like in taproom. I couldn't get a good feel for the vibe that night, but I could see it being a fun place on a Friday evening.

I was a little nervous of this place being in a strip mall off of I-80, but I was pleasantly impressed. I'll certainly come back and maybe try the restaurant "side" of things.

 

 

I am very thankful to have breweries close to home, including a this one. Serves good brick stone pizza and meat and cheese trays. They have gotten off to a good start with the her, and are beginning to take risks. An incredibly clean and cool tasting room in a phenomenal Illinois ton. Beer s good, in which their Mosaic fyooZHen is their top beer. A little overpriced, but the community supports the pricing. I am looking forward to them puttin out other beers.
