Looking for the perfect post-shopping destination during the Farmers Market Grayslake weekend? Join us at Beer Bazaar this Saturday as we host a special showcase for Woodstock’s own Kishwaukee Brewing Co. From 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, we are turning over our taps to a brewery that defines “quality over everything.”
Traditional Craft Excellence from Woodstock
Kishwaukee Brewing Co. has quickly earned a reputation across Northern Illinois for their unwavering commitment to traditional brewing techniques. While many modern breweries chase fleeting trends, Kishwaukee focuses on the meticulous execution of European-style lagers and balanced American ales. Their presence in the Village of Grayslake this weekend is a must-attend for any purist looking for a masterclass in malt and hop balance.

-
German-Style Pilsner: This is the gold standard for the brewery. It pours a brilliant straw gold with a persistent white head. You can expect a fragrant bouquet of herbal and spicy noble hops (Tettnanger and Hallertau), leading into a crisp, crackery malt profile. It finishes with a sharp, refreshing snap that cleanses the palate perfectly.
-
Traditional Dunkel: A deep mahogany lager that is a favorite among those who appreciate malt complexity. It offers rich layers of toasted bread crust, mild milk chocolate, and hints of hazelnut. Despite its dark appearance, it remains remarkably light-bodied and drinkable, staying true to its Munich roots.
-
American IPA Series: Kishwaukee’s approach to the IPA is one of intentionality. Their West Coast-style offerings are celebrated for their resinous pine and bright grapefruit zest aromatics. Rather than overwhelming bitterness, you’ll find a sturdy caramel malt backbone that provides a smooth, citrus-forward experience. Their Hazy IPAs lean into stone fruit and tropical melon notes without being overly cloying.
