With an explosion of new breweries popping up around the city, and some of the best tavern culture in the world, Chicago has truly become a beer haven for connoisseurs and casual fans alike.

We take a closer look at a few of the players in the local craft beer scene with stops at Baderbrau, a southside brewery specializing in easy-drinking lagers; Hopleaf, the original Chicago craft beer tavern that boasts 68 draft lines and 300 bottles; and The Beer Temple, a local shop that stocks 1,000 unique beer labels.
