No One Comes Between You and Your Beer
Welcome to District Brew Yards (aka “the Brew Yards”), the first of its kind in the nation to house a production brewery collective, pour-your-own beer hall, and shop under one roof, right here in Chicago’s Brewing District. Now the exclusive home of award-winning Lillie’s Q, the Brew Yards offers Southern-style BBQ, chicken and sides along with homemade craft beer.
Announcing
Lillie’s Q is Now at District Brew Yards!
We’re pleased to announce a new, non-brewery partner has moved in and is ready for business: Lillie’s Q, serving up world-famous barbecue from Founder/Chef Charlie McKenna. We’re thrilled to have this award-winning BBQ partner now available for pickup and delivery! Visit our food page to see the food selection!
The Patio is Open!
That’s right, buds! We now have a 90+ person patio that is open for business! Enjoy your favorite Brew Yards beers alongside our awesome Southern-facing murals.
To enjoy the patio, guests first need to enter through the main entrance of District Brew Yards at 417 N. Ashland Ave., check-in at the front desk to get a beer card for the pour-your-own taps, and use the new social distancing policies for accessing the beer walls or ordering barbecue, then move to the outdoor seating. A friendly reminder, District Brew Yards is 21+; dogs are allowed on the new patio, but must be walked around the building, as dogs are not allowed inside to walk through the shop or beer hall.
