Old Irving Brewing Co.

Old Irving Brewing Co. opened its doors in late 2016 by Co-Founder Jeff Linnemeyer and Co-Founder and Head Brewer, Trevor Rose-Hamblin. In 2019, we were fortunate enough to win a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival for Beezer in the Hazy IPA category. Two years later in 2021, we won a silver medal at the Great American Beer Festival for Della in the German-Style Kölsch category. And in 2024, with another stroke of good fortune, we won a gold medal at the World Beer Cup for Beezer in the Hazy IPA category. We work hard to brew quality beers across many styles including hazy IPAs, lagers, fruited sours, adjunct stouts, and barrel-aged beers and proudly brew in Chicago, one of the best beer cities in the country. Beer is our passion, but we take our food menu just as seriously. Our food menu has seen many iterations throughout the years, but one thing has remained constant, and that is using the best ingredients possible from local farms and purveyors. Many of our menu items are prepared on our wood-fire grill powered with cherry and mesquite wood. The high heat and woodsmoke imparts a delicious smoky flavor that pairs well with beer. The combination of our tasty food menu, high-quality craft beers, a creative cocktail program, and an extensive bourbon/whiskey list, has landed OIB on the USA Today 10Best Best Brewpub in the US list in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. We are proud of what we have accomplished thus far but strive every day to keep improving. And none of this happens without our amazing, hard-working team. They are the key to any of our successes. Above all, we invite you to experience OIB. Visit us at the brewpub, pick up cans at your favorite beer store, or order a draft at one of the fine establishments that carry our beer. We enjoy what we do and hope you enjoy OIB!
