New Chicago Brewery - Half Acre Beer Company


Gabriel Magliaro is the owner of Half Acre Beer Company, which has been available in Chicago for about a month.

It looks like they only have one beer so far that's contract brewed at Sand Creek Brewing Company in Black River Falls, Wisconsin. About 30 percent of Sand Creek's business is from contract brewing.

Half Acre Lager, the first release by Half Acre Beer Company is brewed using only water, hops, barley and yeast, making sure to respect the integrity of the brewing process and the purity of its ingredients. We chose to balance a rich malt base with a livlier hop content, encouraging a natural, vibrant taste and smell while maintaining the beer’s full body and cloudy, amber appearance. Half Acre Lager is suitable to pair with a range of cuisines and experiences during the season of your choice.
