About us
Square Kegs is a homebrew club based in the Lincoln Square neighborhood of Chicago
We meet at 7pm on the last Thursday of every month at Half Acre Brewery. Stop by to meet some local homebrewers and share some suds. Bring a couple bottles of something you brewed or just something you enjoy drinking. Meetings are a great way to get feedback on your latest batch and learn from some experienced brewers and judges.The club hosts several events throughout the year. During the summer we typically organize some group brews where one club member invites others to stop by during one of their brew sessions. It’s a great way to learn another approach at brewing and pick up some tips and tricks. We sometimes organize public brew demonstrations at nearby events, enter club group brews into competitions, and pour at beer fests or charity events.
Our biggest event of the year is Winterbrew, a BJCP sanctioned homebrew competition. Check out the club calendar and Facebook page to keep up to date on the latest events.
