Global Brew Tap House

 

Suburan strip mall meets sports bar vibe, not very clean. Beer list was extensive with 50+ taps, but leaned very heavily toward ipas... in February. However they had some rarer BA options so that was awesome. Service was prompt, informative and laid back, patient with my indecisive friend which was nice. The beers they had were mostly local/regional but the quality was pretty good across the board

Initially unaware the place even existed, my buddy and I stopped in here one day a while back to check it out. I believe we noticed it as a verified venue on Untappd and figured it was worth a shot. It's set in the same strip mall as the Schaumburg Binny's, a few doors down therefrom. It's a similar vibe as the Beer Market down the street, an open, sparse space with some various sizes of tables about, the bar on the left, the kitchen/food-ordering window in the back-right, and some TVs smattered about the walls (co-mingling with brewery signs and miscellaneous posters). The selection is fairly wide, usually with some solid variety, and flights are available, aiding my ticking instinct. There are also some coolers behind the bar that hold a nice bottle/can selection, and they've recently allowed for mixed sixers to be taken home. The bartenders are amiable, quick, and knowledgeable about their stock. Pricing is about on par with regular Schaumburg pricing. I haven't had any food yet, but some of the mac-and-cheese items sounded (and occasionally smelled) pretty good, so that should happen sometime in the near future. Overall, though it may not be the coziest or most interesting place out there, it's a welcome addition to the suburban beer scene out here, providing a source of a usually wide selection of good brews.
