Wake Brewing

Top choice in Illinois


Two musically-inclined homebrewing brothers started this sludgy, doom metal–themed taproom in 2017 and quickly rose to the forefront of the Quad Cities brew scene. The taproom includes an outdoor patio in warmer months (with occasional live music) while the beers tend towards high-quality traditional with sporadic quirks (hazy IPAs, German Alts, stouts brewed with 30lbs of donuts).
