***END UPDATE***

Lagunitas Founder Tony Magee took to twitter on Monday to provide an update on how things are coming along with a planned brewery and tap room in Chicago.

The tap room, at 18th and Rockwell in the Douglas Park neighborhood, is slated for an April opening while the production brewery (at the same address) is positioned for a September opening.

Chicago is on track; 1st brew in late Sept. Last wk we ordered the nu bottle line @ 550bpm. Two 2bbl/min centrifuges too. Taproom by April..
