Pipeworks Brewing

The best part about the Chicago craft beer scene is that there are so many enthusiasts who are trying to start their own craft breweries. Maybe what Silicon Valley is to technology, Chicago can be for craft beer? The best example I have seen recently is Pipeworks Brewery. It's not even around yet. Basically, it's a couple of guys who want to start their own brewery. Instead of focusing on large batches, the brewery looks to be focusing on small batches at a local brewpub.

What these guys need right now is some money to help get their business running. If Chicago truly wants to be a great craft beer city, then we can give a little to make sure that people that want to open their own brewery can do it. It reflects everything that is great about craft beer: community and experimentation.

 Also, it looks like they might be looking for a place in Garfield Park. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it shows how great Chicago is that these craft breweries are looking all over the city and not concentrating in one hip neighborhood.

You can learn more about Pipeworks Brewing at Kickstarter, where you can check out their story and donate some money. The brewery also has a Web page and a page on Facebook. Show some support and maybe in a year's time we can add another craft brewer to the Chicago scene.
