About Metropolitan Brewing
Located in Chicago’s River North neighborhood, Metropolitan Brewing has been crafting German-style lagers since 2009 without ever making an IPA. The brewery's flagship, Krankshaft, is a Kölsch that balances malt and hops for a clean finish. They also offer a Pilsner, Helles, and other unique styles like Microvolt Table Lager, which they released in 2022. The taproom includes a riverside patio where patrons can enjoy their beers year-round. Regular events include live music and trivia nights on Wednesdays.
