Best of the West Brewery Excursion - Lombard - Sundays:

Duration: 3 hours

About Our Sunday Best of the West ticket includes a flight of 4 beers, a personalized experience at each brewery, and transportation on our Brews Mobile. This craft beer adventure includes Noon Whistle, Afterthought and Elmhurst breweries. The tour starts and ends at Noon Whistle 800 E. Roosevelt Rd, Lombard, IL.

Afterthought Brewing is a small family run saison-focused brewery. Your evening starts with a personal tasting experience and conversation, unique to Brews Cruise guests, about these Belgium influenced beers. Their saisons take inspiration from Old World traditions, incorporate American and other New World fruit and hops, and emphasize the use of oak and fermentation with yeast and bacteria outside of traditional brewer’s yeast.

Next we head to Elmhurst Brewing for another flight of beer, an optional tour of their production facility, and to order some food. For over 4 years, Elmhurst Brewing has been featuring a diverse variety of hand-crafted brews, from German-style lagers, to west and east coast IPA's, to APA's, to fruited sours, and stouts. Make sure to try their most talked-about beer, Fool's Gold, a rare golden coffee stout. And EBC's from-scratch kitchen offers a fresh cheeseburger, spicy pork fried rice, fish and chips, and beer-battered cheese curds, to name a few.

Sorry Dean. Unfortunately, the money you spent and rules around redemption are with Groupon. Chicagoland Brews Cruise does not see any dollars until redemption. I have stopped using Groupon due to issues like this that reflect poorly on my business.
