I’m a designer. I eat, sleep and breathe design all day–everyday. I find that I can’t even look at anything without analyzing its design, and thinking about why a designer, or artist, would do something a certain way. As a designer, I can hardly get away from that. So, what can a designer do to just relax after a busy week of making awesome things for clients, and break away from a designer’s mind? Why not drink a nice beer that doesn’t taste like water? You’ll thank me later…and with Father’s Day rolling around the corner, treat your dad to something good too.

If you’re going to enjoy something, why not support a local brewry? Maybe even treat dad to a tour? That’s a mighty swell thing to do. So below, you’ll find some really awesome brewries around Chicago with a mighty tasty product.
