One Year Later: Dovetail Brewery Bursts onto the Craft Beer Scene

By: Dovetail Brewery
 
CHICAGO - July 21, 2017 - PRLog -- Dovetail Brewery (1800 W. Belle Plaine, Chicago, IL; 773-683-1414) recently celebrated its first anniversary. Notable for using traditional methods to brew straightforward delicious craft beer, the brewery literally burst onto the scene, quickly becoming renowned in Chicago and across the country's ever-growing craft beer scene. Deemed "a must for any serious beer lover" by Josh Noel, columnist at the Chicago Tribune, the brewery's growing list of accolades includes being named one of the most promising breweries to open in 2016 by Beer Advocate Magazine and finishing fifth in USA Today 10Best's Best New Brewery reader's poll.

Dovetail was founded by co-owners and head brewers Bill Wesselink and Hagen Dost in June 2016. The name pays homage to the dovetail joint, a joinery technique used in woodworking that is notoriously difficult to make manually and pull apart. Like the joint, the brewery brings a high level of quality and craftsmanship to its beer through the marriage of both traditional brewing methods and modern brewing creativity. The result are the kinds of beers found in small, family-run breweries in Europe.

One year later, Dovetail is one of Chicago's favorite microbreweries and one of the nation's best new breweries. Raise a glass to Dovetail's accomplishments and cheers to its future.
