Introducing our new double IPA, Beyond The Horizon. This beer is unlike any other, featuring big, rich notes of stone fruit and mango, complemented by a heavy, dank herbal finish. It’s our tribute to the classic IPAs of the upper Northeast.

We are excited to welcome Brewmaster Mark Duchow to our Adams Street Brewery team! Mark has over 30 years of experience. He has been awarded over 100 medals for brewing excellence in national and world competitions.

His favorite beer and food pairing? The Game Sausage and Open Czech Pilsner.

Mark's favorite beer on our current tap list? Well, too hard to choose! It all depends on the day and how he feels.

If there was a beer Mark could brew with no regards to cost or production sales, it would be a Baltic Porter.

Our brewmasters Jim and Mark are working on a saison for the summer.

Mark is currently on vacation in Brussels, with that, he has had the opportunity to taste several saisons from Belgium.

Ah!! We know, work, work, work. What else can we say, he loves his job!

Welcome to the team Mark!

Welcome to Adams Street Brewery

In the late 1800s, our founder Herman Joseph Berghoff began brewing beer. After successfully selling it outside Chicago’s World’s Fair, he decided to open a small café that served beer as well as sandwiches. That tiny café housed on the corner of Adam’s Street is now The Berghoff Restaurant. A historic Chicago establishment, The Berghoff was recently awarded a resolution from the City of Chicago for 120 years of excellence in service. Now, The Berghoff Restaurant is paying homage to its roots by bringing the art of brewing beer in-house.

Adams Street is where The Berghoff became an establishment, earned Chicago’s first ever liquor license, and served generations of families. To many, the building on Adams Street is more than just a location; it’s a “real-time, working memory factory.” As a tribute to the place that the Berghoff family has called home for over a century, the brewery is named Adams Street Brewery.
