Beer Weekend for Chicago, September 26-28

A rather clumsy headline, sure, but trying to put a little variety on the front newsfeed.

District Brew Yards in Wheeling will have it last day of business. The West Side tap room is still open, while a buyer for the operation is sought.

Downers Grove has announced that the former Emmett’s Brewing location on Main Street, which closed this past June, has a new tenant. Ranalli’s Pizza, with locations in Lincoln Park and the West Loop, will be taking over and renovating the space. They looking toward a 2026 opening. I’m guessing Emmett’s brewing stainless will be parceled out to their other brewpubs in West Dundee and Palatine.

We have another release of botanical beers from Scratch Brewing in far southern Ava, Illinois. Friday at all three Beer on the Wall locations.
