Chain O'Lakes Brewing Company makes its home in an historic, turn-of-the-century building which, fittingly, housed the McHenry Brewery half a century ago. It wanted to return the fresh, handcrafted ales brewed in the Old World tradition to residents of McHenry and the Lakes region. Located in McHenry's historic downtown shopping district, visitors to the small brewery will find its signature handcrafted beers, served fresh from its serving tanks. If you're hungry, you're welcome to bring your own food or have food delivered from local downtown McHenry restaurants.
