Revolution, Half Acre, Begyle, Pipeworks, DryHop off the top of my head. Also Lagunitas, but that one is not technically "Chicago", but has a brewery here.
This is good advice. Additionally, depending how much time you have and if you have access to a car, you can make the trek out to Munster, IN and check out 3 Floyds.

Just some tips, Half Acre decided to start selling food which is pretty annoying because unless you can get a bar seat you have to wait to be seated. So go right when they open, or an hour or so before they close when the kitchen shuts down.
3 Floyds is also one you need to get to early or be prepared to wait, but you'll get to try a lot of beer exclusive to the brewery. Don't to the tour here, you don't even get to try beer.
Lagunitas a lot of people hate on but I really like it. It's not in the greatest of areas so if you're taking public transit I'd recommend going during the day, if you do a week day tour it's free and they give you free beer. Usually 5-10 3oz samples.
Begyle is fun, you can buy a tour online and a lot of times they have food trucks set up on the weekend.

Thanks! We're staying in Old Town, have friends in Wicker Park and another neighborhood that Boyfriend keeps telling me but I just cannot remember. Our Wicker Park friends really want to take us to Lagunitas and mentioned Revolution. I'm trying to push everyone towards the breweries we don't really get here in NY.

No problem!
Begyle and half acre are about a 20 minute walk apart. There's also a bar across from half acre called bad Apple which has a huge craft beer selection.
In wicker park there is a place called links which has a nice variety of craft brews. They do a sausage link and drink lunch special. Also there's a pizza place called Dimos over there which has all sorts of fun slices and local beer on tap. luva and PorchRadio love it
I had a bottle of Cascade's Blackcap Raspberry last night, absolutely incredible. For any fans of fruited sours, do not pass it up if you get a chance to try it.

I haven't had that one but the blackberry, blueberry, and apricot are all really good. The apricot one especially.
I had a bottle of 2014 Figaro and found it to be be FAR too sour. Overpowered everything else. And I'm all about sours. Those are the only Cascade I've had so far. Was worried for the Blackcap after the Figaro, but was very pleased.
They tell us "Rock'n'roll is the devil's music." Well, let's say we know that rock is the devil's music, and we know that it is, for sure … At least he fuckin' jams! If it's a choice between eternal Hell and good tunes, and eternal Heaven and New Kids on the fuckin' Block … I'm gonna be surfin' on the lake of fire, rockin' out.

Please, God, let this happen. Georgia beer laws are a joke right now.
Senator Rick Jeffares (R – McDonough), chairman of the Senate Regulated Industries and Utilities Committee, introduced Senate Bill 85, which will allow breweries to sell up to 3,000 barrels of the beer they manufacture to consumers visiting the brewery. If passed, consumers will be able to enjoy fresh beer by the glass, take up to one case to go, and purchase food without the tour package that is currently required. Furthermore, the bill slightly modifies the brewpub license to reinforce local control on issues of to-go sales from brewpubs.

Am I interpreting this right? If a brewery sells food, you have to purchase a tour package to be able to eat there? What.
Georgia has easily some of the worst brewery laws in the US.
You can't buy beer directly from a brewery. A brewery can charge you for an educational tour of the facility. That tour may include up to 36 oz of beer, with no sample exceeding more than six ounces. The sale of the tour may also include a souvenir, typically a six pack of beer of a special bomber or something. If you want to eat at the brewery you HAVE to purchase a tour. Breweries can't have kitchens on-site, it can only be a mobile food vendor.
So basically it's a big silly game wherein you go to a brewery, buy a glass and six tasting tickets and then you get to drink the beer. Every now and then they offer to give people a tour of the place and that's about it. I think Wild Heaven even just has a few signs posted near their fermentation tanks about how to make beer which meets the legal standard of a "tour."
It has been a years-long fight to get any movement on this. Brewpubs weren't allowed to sell growlers of their own beer until last year.

Lost Sailor is their IPA, which means almost anything else of theirs you see should be fine. The Coffeehouse Porter is really good. I also like Shabadoo Black and Tan. Steel Rail, their most common beer, is a fairly light APA.

My local brewery had a bottle release last week. It was a blue agave farmhouse ale, aged for 10 months in anejo tequila barrels and bottle conditioned for another 7 months. It checked in at 14% ABV. It was absolutely delightful, one of the best things they've done in their less than 2 years of operating. With their triple IPA returning next month, their mango hab pale ale, and the Douglas Tree Fir (DTF) saison, it's a good time to be over at Zeroday Brewing. Despite the nasty divorce their co-owners are going through.
