Duneyrr Artisan Fermenta Project

Interesting brewery making eccentric beers by McCormick Place. A couple of cute doggos greeted me upon entering. Service was top notch, and owner was eager to talk and help. I happened to go when they did $3 tasters which was great. Was the beer mind-blowing; no. But I'd go just for the vibe. You feel welcomed here.

Small bar with a house dog who is friendly. You have to order using a QR code which is a bit of a pain. Service was good. Beer is excellent. Nice selection of different styles.

Stopped in just prior to a Sox game, convenient to the L, which is a plus. Place is rather small, a drywall-encased tasting area shielding us from the brewing equipment beyond. I was greeted immediately by my new buddy Winston (who was described as a mastiff, but I think there's possible some ridgeback or lab or something in there as well), who is a very good boy; as is his partner-in-crime, Fez the Frenchy. Gotta love the doggos, kids. I hit the relatively small bar and was then greeted by the awesome bartender (wish I got her name, she was cool), who struck up some conversations around the bar and kept the glasses full at all times. Selection isn't too wide, but there's a lot of flavors involved, so there's that. As of now, only Duneyrr and Moderne Dune available, but I believe Dutchbag will be on offer soon-ish (all the more reason to come back and hang out with Winston, Fez, and the humans). I can see things getting potentially a bit stifling in the depth of summer, but this seems like a neat little joint to hit up every now and then for some interesting suds and quality company.

Cool spot in the Motor Row district near McCormick Place. Formerly Motor Row Brewing, Duneyrr is on the first floor with a tiny tasting room and larger brewery visible in the back, and barrels along the far back wall. Cozy bar with seating for 8-10, table seating for a dozen or so more. Seasonal winter decor, a large antlered skull and a planter box of cascading artificial plants high on the brick wall. Flatscreen with a fireplace scene completed the cozy vibe.

Beer selection included 8 drafts and a few cans. Styles ranged broadly, including a spontaneous sour ale with wine grapes, a smoked Nordic lager, DDH lager, hazy ipa, four stout variants. Even more beers available to go. They are making some creative hybrid wild ales and unique lagers, and seem to have found their niche already.

The brewer and owner was tending bar and had lots to share about his beers and brewing experience. He drew everyone into the conversation, which was nice.

Worth a stop, but plan accordingly, they're only open 3 days a week.
