Dovetail Brewery Tour

Dovetail Brewery

A 90-minute behind-the-scenes  tour of Dovetail Brewery, a small brewery focusing on Continental European styles and traditional methods.

Every Saturday of the month (usually) at 12pm, we offer award-winning* tours of our brewery. Each 90-minute-ish tour includes three .3L beers (that’s nearly a liter of beer!) and insight into our traditional brewing processes. You will get to participate in a water tasting (bet you didn’t see that coming!), a hop rubbing, and malt tasting, while exploring the unique features in our brewery, including (spoilers!) our coolship and 115-year-old copper kettle from Weihenstephaner (that’s the oldest brewery in the world).Tours are 21+ only. Children are encouraged to enjoy our taproom during tours—it’s a working brewery, after all. You also MUST WEAR CLOSED-TOE SHOES. NOTE: If you show up and you're not wearing closed-toe shoes, we will exchange your ticket for another date. We will not issue refunds.The quick details: • All tours include: three .3L pours of Dovetail beers and some other beer samples and 15% off all to-go beer and merchandise • 24 people maximumHere’s some of the nice things people have said about our brewery tour:<ul><li>Chicago Reader, “<a href="https://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2016/07/25/dovetail-brewerys-tour-serves-up-a-potent-look-at-the-art-of-making-craft-beer" title="https://www.chicagoreader.com/Bleader/archives/2016/07/25/dovetail-brewerys-tour-serves-up-a-potent-look-at-the-art-of-making-craft-beer" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dovetail Brewery’s tour serves up a potent look at the art of making craft beer</a>“</li><li>Guys Drinking Beer, “<a href="https://www.guysdrinkingbeer.com/6-reasons-the-dovetail-brewery-tour-is-kickass/" title="https://www.guysdrinkingbeer.com/6-reasons-the-dovetail-brewery-tour-is-kickass/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">6 Reasons The Dovetail Brewery Tour Is Kickass</a>“</li><li>Time Out Chicago, “<a href="https://www.timeout.com/chicago/bars/best-brewery-tours-in-chicago" title="https://www.timeout.com/chicago/bars/best-brewery-tours-in-chicago" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">16 Best Brewery Tours in Chicago</a>” (We’re #1!)</li><li>Travel Magazine, “<a href="https://www.travelmag.com/articles/chicago-brewery-tours/" title="https://www.travelmag.com/articles/chicago-brewery-tours/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Best 3 Chicago Beer and Brewery Tours</a>“</li></ul>* We’re one of <a href="https://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-brewery-tour-2018/" title="https://www.10best.com/awards/travel/best-brewery-tour-2018/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">USA Today’s 10Best Brewery Tours of 2018!</a>
