Evergreen Farm Brewing - Metamora, Illinois

This place is a local gem! A family run small-batch brewery located on a rural farm. It's a venue unlike any other-- no large dining room nor massive tap room. Guests can sit in at a small bar in the tap house, in a repurposed garage, or in a reused green house. (There's also ample seating outside, weather permitting.) The vibe is more akin to hanging out at a friend's place vs a noisy micro brewery.

There's a great selection of unique home brews as well as some great regional selections. Food is often available via local food trucks.

The beers are great, the vibe is chill-- if you want to unwind at the end of the week then this is the place to go!

Where relaxation meets inebriation.

I hadn’t heard of this hidden gem until I was talking to a coworker about breweries and he mentioned this place. It didn’t take me long to go from hearing about it to visiting.

Emily and I popped in on a beautiful Friday evening after I worked a nice 7-day work stretch. I was needing a beer or two and some unwinding. We used GPS to get here because it was in the middle of Nowhere, Metamora. As we approached, we saw a ton of cars and a food truck in the parking lot. For being out of the way, this place was hopping for a Friday evening. We parked and slowly strolled towards the beer house. Once inside, we took a few minutes to look at the beer menu and pick out what we wanted. I got the Rats in the Attic (plus a sticker) and Emily got the Holla Atcha.

Where you order is a small building next to a big farm house. It’s small and cozy inside. Once you get your beer, you head outside to either sit in this small converted barn or sit around the property. Emily and I decided to sit outside to soak up the setting sun and enjoy the weather. There are plenty of place to sit, with each area offering a different type of view.

Emily and I sat and sipped our delicious beers while debating on getting food from the food truck as we were both hungry after a long day. Plus the first beer was hitting fast and quick and we were signed up for at least two for the night. Emily got the California Steak Bowl and I got the Asian Chicken Wrap. The food truck guy said it wouldn’t take too long but that we had time to get another beer. Back into the little house we went.

I got another Rats in the Celler as it was hitting all the right spots. Emily switched to the Dang! It’s a Good One! fruit beer. We walked back to the truck and grabbed our food and headed back to our spot. The wrap I got had some jalapeno in it and it kicked HARD. I planned to sip my beer but it ended up going down quick to soothe the burn.

I tried Emily’s bowl and she tried my wrap and we both agreed that we had food envy and after we had a bit of our food, we switched. The bowl was a good way to help cool my mouth down (along with the rest of my beer).

As much as we wanted to get a 3rd beer, the two that we got plus the food did us in. As we were walking out, we checked out the little converted barn and it would be the perfect place to have some drinks in rainy or cold weather. There’s something rustic and antique about the place that I just loved.

It’s only been a day since I was there but I am craving to go back ASAP. The fact that this place is a farm area turned into a brewery (but still seems to have some farm activities going on) hits all the right notes, plus having a tasty beer on tap helps a ton. It was super relaxing to just sit there and drink some good beer while having a great conversation in the middle of nowhere.

It's probably our favorite family outing. The open space in the back makes it great for anyone. Mom and dad can have a beer or two while the kids run out their energy.

Family-friendly brewery with food options. What more could you ask for?

Good beer and awesome outdoor space!

No food, but every time I've been there, they have a food truck or two

Went to Hopsworth party with young children. Had a great time. Great beer, reasonable prices, etc. Whole family had fun. Also loved Big Papa Jake’s (I think) food truck.
