Looking for the most creative way to kick off your Memorial Day weekend? Join us at Beer Bazaar for our weekly Farmers Market Grayslake showcase! On Saturday, May 23, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM, we are celebrating the artistic and experimental liquid culture of Chicago’s very own Marz Community Brewing.
Marz Community Brewing (Chicago, IL) | Visit Marz
Marz Community Brewing is far more than a standard production facility; it is an art collective and community hub that pushes the boundaries of what a craft beverage can be. Known for their whimsical label art and boundary-blurring recipes, Marz focuses on small-batch, high-concept releases that challenge traditional style guidelines. Their presence in the Village of Grayslake this weekend brings a taste of Bridgeport’s experimental spirit to our taproom.
-
Experimental & Tea-Infused Ales: Marz has mastered the art of incorporating botanicals and tea into their brews. Their flagship offerings, like the iconic Jungle Boogie, utilize ingredients like Rooibos tea to add earthy, complex layers to bright malt bases. These beers are designed for those who appreciate a departure from the ordinary.
-
Artisanal IPAs: Their approach to hops is equally artistic. You can expect hazy and West Coast styles that emphasize unique citrus profiles, often leaning into notes of blood orange, calamansi, and tropical zest. These IPAs are built for maximum aroma and a smooth, approachable finish.
-
Botanical Beverages & Shrub Sodas: Marz is a leader in the “beyond beer” category. Their portfolio includes refreshing shrub sodas, botanical seltzers, and kombuchas that focus on vinegar-based acidity and fresh fruit infusions.
-
Social THC & CBD Tonics: For those looking for a smoke-free, non-alcoholic experience, Marz produces some of the most sought-after hemp-infused beverages in the Midwest. These elixirs often feature sophisticated flavor pairings like juniper, ginger, and exotic citrus.
