Arguably the best brewery on the IL side... Old Herald is outstanding... […] The atmosphere is great, the bier garden Is awesome, good food, great service, and unbelievable . We lived in Germany for 5 years, went to Munich Oktoberfest and Stuttgart Beer Fest 4 times, and Old Herald’s bier is unquestionably on par with what we drank in the motherland, and that’s no exaggeration...

Excellent beers!

I finished my flight with a drink called The Pressman, a combination of the distillery's Ghostwriter's bourbon and the brewery's Primer's Ink black ale. My wife drove home. We also shared a bread pudding dessert. It paired well with the Pressman.

[…] This is a true brewery and distillery. All spirits and beer are made in house and they are all outstanding. I'm a dark beer kinda girl and the Printers Ink is spot on. Notes of coffee and dark chocolate but sessionable, not heavy. The IPA, Whit, and Kolsch are also well balance […]. The cocktails are thoughtful, beautiful and delicious. You seriously can't go wrong in the beverage department here.
