Argus Brewery, its South Side location and historic building make for a tour like no other<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a mash tun\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen it goes into the fermenter…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd here\u2019s our bottling line\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, a brewery tour can provide a neat, behind-the-scenes look at the place where your favorite beer comes to life. But, let\u2019s be honest \u2013 if you\u2019ve done one\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then there\u2019s Argus Brewery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow many of you have done a brewery tour before?\u201d Argus beer historian Nick Lubovich begins before a crowd of hands go in the air. \u201cWell, if this tour anything like those other ones, then we\u2019re doing it wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argus is not doing it wrong. Not even close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What they\u2019re doing twice every Saturday is so much more than just a brewery tour. It\u2019s a Chicago history lesson, with a brewery tour tucked neatly inside. And it\u2019s worth the trek down I-94 to 111th Street \u2013 or even spending $8 for a round-trip Metra Electric ride from Michigan & Randolph to the brewery\u2019s front door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
