Brewery Profile

Maplewood Brewing Company

In Chicago’s Logan Square, a neighborhood closely associated with the city’s modern craft beer culture, visitors find Maplewood Brewing Company operating as both a brewery and distillery under one roof. That combination is a notable part of its identity: Maplewood was the first in Illinois to bring brewing and distilling together in this format. The visitor-facing space is the expanded Maplewood Lounge, where the focus is not limited to draft beer. Guests can expect a beverage program that includes Maplewood’s beer alongside house spirits, giving the stop a broader range than a standard neighborhood taproom.

Travelers exploring Chicago’s beer scene often look for places that feel tied to a specific part of the city rather than a generic tasting room experience. Maplewood fits that kind of visit because it connects Logan Square’s craft beverage reputation with a food program that has its own point of view. Chef Joanna Janczurewicz’s menu centers on modern Polish and Eastern European comfort food, described as nostalgic while still unexpected. For visitors used to pairing brewery visits with burgers, pizza, or snacks, this gives the lounge a different rhythm: beer and spirits are part of the draw, but the kitchen is also central to the experience.

For planning purposes, the Maplewood Lounge is the place to confirm the day’s pours, available house spirits, and current food menu. The known draw is the combination of award-winning beer, in-house spirits, and a full menu rather than a quick sample counter or production-only stop. Because specific hours, reservation policies, parking details, and event schedules are not included here, visitors should check directly before going, especially if they are building a Logan Square itinerary around a meal. A stop here works best for guests who want to sit down, try drinks made on site, and add a food experience that reflects Chicago’s broad culinary influences.

Pioneering the craft scene in Chicago's Logan Square, Maplewood Brewing Company was the first in Illinois to seamlessly blend brewing and distilling under one roof. Their expanded Maplewood Lounge now offers more than just award-winning beer and house spirits; Chef Joanna Janczurewicz elevates the experience with a full menu of modern Polish and Eastern European comfort food. Stop in for a truly unique taste of Chicago, where expertly crafted beverages meet nostalgic, yet unexpected, culinary delights.
