Beer In Front Dave Zalatoris

Midwest Coast Brewing Company, nestled at 2137 W Walnut in Chicago, is on the brink of unveiling its much-anticipated all-season rooftop! This is not just any rooftop, it's a game-changer for the city's taproom scene. With its breathtaking views, an extensive selection of beers, and a retractable roof that defies Chicago’s unpredictable weather, it's a spot you simply can't miss.
