    The location is on 14th Ave in Rock Island. I was told the owners about it. Hell if I know about a web presence - I'm going on what they told me, personally. The building that they're going into has a ton of work being done to it(I go past it every day)

    Limestone will be in the Fox Valley MALL area. Around Ogden and 59. That's the border of Aurora and Naperville, about 10 minutes from their previous location.

    Rumour is they are taking over the Foundrey.

    That was going to be my guess, though that place is HUGE.

    Their website also references a "large outdoor patio" at their new location - Foundrey clearly fits the bill.

    Well, hope it's true. Regardless, you may want to let the owner know that their current name may not be the best option, as I can already get Against The Grain beers at some locations in the Chicago area...

    Also saw that Bent River is opening a satellite location somewhere near downtown Rock Island. From what I can tell, it will have a tasting room (no restaurant, though -- that will still exist at their primary Moline location).

    They're coming along really well with the Bent River location in Rock Island. They're also going to have a little drive-thru coffee shop in the parking lot. One will be able to buy bottles of Bent beer, to go, from said drive-thru. They have it all painted, the grain hopper is in, and the new sign just went up this weekend.

    There's an excellent BBQ place right across the street from it, and a decent to good Mexican restaurant across the other street.

    Been a while, but they finally have a real website: http://www.kaskaskiabrewing.com/
