Many fans of Half Acre beers started their love affair in a can since Half Acre became the first brewer in Chicago to can its beer in April 2010, four years after the company started. It brewed its first beer with the help of friends in Wisconsin and quickly gained a following in Chicago for its ales and lagers. Today it's one of the largest Chicago breweries and if you want to enjoy their beers on-site, head to the Half Acre Tap Room. The brewery offers tours every Saturday which includes a Half Acre pint glass and sampling.
