Half Acre is one of Chicago’s pioneering breweries. Founded in 2007, they originally brewed beer in Black River Falls, Wisconsin for the handful of Chicago bars and shops. Shortly thereafter, they moved to Lincoln Ave, where they first brewed Daisy Cutter Pale Ale in 2009.Â
In 2015, they transformed a bow truss factory building in Bowmanville into their current home and brewery at 2050 W Balmoral Avenue (next door to Spiteful Brewing). The property includes a taproom and seasonal beer garden with full service dining and a retail shop.
Half Acre is also a Great Lakes Business Network member, joining more than 170 other businesses in Great Lakes protection & restoration work.
