USA, IL: Pipeworks Brewings new brewpub shooting for early 2019 opening in Chicago
Brewery-fresh beer and food could be coming to Logan Square from the team behind Pipeworks Brewing. The acclaimed beer-maker plans to open a brewpub at 2614 N. California Avenue. It is still in the initial stages and needs community and city approvals, but ownership is shooting for an early 2019 opening. A community meeting is scheduled for Monday, October 23, Eater Chicago reported on October 17.
Pipeworks was founded in 2012, noted DNAinfo, but the Hermosa-based brewery hasnt crossed into the world of food or even a taproom. Pipeworks co-owner Gerrit Lewis told the Tribune that theyre working with a mystery chef with a long and notable Chicago resume. Lewis said theyd also make experimental brews including some sours once the brewpub is official.
Lewis is being coy as he doesnt want to say too much until after the community meeting. He did post an exterior rendering of what the brewpub could look like and writing the hes going to need some community support on this one. The brewpub would neighbor Mi Tocaya Antojeria, the acclaimed Mexican restaurant that opened earlier this year.
