If you want a craft brewery with non-typical offerings, Off Color Mousetrap is the place to be. Saisons are front and center here with some excellent Berliner type Weisse beers. If you don't know what I am talking about, this might not be the place for you. If you are adventurous in your craft beer drinking = this is the place! The staff is extremely friendly and the craft beer might be the BEST in Chicago (that is saying a lot because there are many world class craft breweries here). Get over to Off Color Mousetrap and have some excellent craft beers! They also have some wine & cocktails for your non craft beer friends.

Great brewery. Large selection with a great variety of beers. Off Color classics like Apex Predator and great new additions. Awesome vending machine with non-food oddities like 1989 Topps baseball card. Wonderful space with indoor and outdoor seating.

Quaint brewery with lots of space that can serve as a great place to relax and meet friends especially on a warm sunny day as they have a lovely outdoor seating area.

They have a good selection of beers and I really appreciate their branding of rats and capybaras on their glasses.

Service is friendly, but like other breweries in Chicago, they don't serve food. Instead, you can bring food in or order delivery. They do have a few party games one can play

Just one of my favorites when in Chicago. There are so many great breweries, from Hopewell to Hopleaf and Half-acre, Off Color is a stand out in this group to me. Their beers are super-good, Apex being my favorite my. That said, the “Beers for…” series is one of the most innovative and consistently solid in the beer industry.
I live in Denver, so always happy to find the occasional 4-pack or tap take-over, but always make the effort to stop by the taproom when in Chicago. The taproom is low-key and approachable.

Every time I come here the bartenders are rude. Thought it was just a fluke, but maybe that’s their shtick. It’s unfortunate because Off Color brews great beer. I look forward to their new releases, visiting the taproom, getting a draft and then taking some home. Moving forward if I really want their beer I’ll just save myself some money and pick it up from any of the many craft beer stores in the city. The taproom just really isn’t a great vibe.
