Big Chicago

Big Chicago Brewing Company expects to fire up the kettles in August at their new contract and private label brewing facility at 2701 Deborah Ave. in Zion. Just to play catchup, Big Chicago was originally Flatlander’s Restaurant & Brewery, which closed its brewpub in Lincolnshire in January and announced it would split operations to a new restaurant, and separate brewery in Mundelein. Plans for the restaurant’s location are on hold now, and before they could sign for their Mundelein location, they decided they would need a bigger space. The new operation was called Old Chicago, but had to be changed as it was also the name for a string of non-brewing beer bars owned by Gordon Biersch.

The new brewery’s building was erected in the 1890’s for the Zion Lace factory, and most recently held a haunted house attraction. The original 15 bbl equipment from Flatlander’s will be joined by a 30 bbl system, giving it an initial capacity of 700 barrels per month. Flatlander’s-branded beers will be produced for the restaurant when it opens, and for retail.
