Miskatonic Brewing Company

Located just across the highway from the Argonne National Laboratory where scientists are researching supercomputing and renewable energy, the brewers at Miskatonic are putting their critical thinking skills to work conceiving delicious beer. From a traditional Maibock to an of-the-moment Valkyrie New England IPA packed with juicy hops, this Darien, Illinois brewery doesn't limit itself when it comes to beer styles. Take a seat at the bar for a view of the tanks where Miskatonic liquids are crafted or head to the inner taproom, where board games and a dart board await. And bring along a snack if you're feeling hungry, because there's no kitchen here.
