Eventide Brewing
Eventide Brewing is a Grant Park staple. Great. Not complicated is not just our motto...it's our way of life. We've been making delicious, approachable beers for over seven years and love being part of this community. "Eventide" is an old English term meaning "evening" or "twilight." For us, it is the time when the day winds down and you can enjoy the things which matter most to you. Come find your Eventide!
