Distilleries Grainology Brewstillery LOCATION: 131 Flinn Street, Suite C, Batavia ABOUT: Grainology was founded by two people with a passion for creating craft beverages and sharing them with those around us. The building Grainology chose comes to us with a rich history. This building was built in 1902 to house the US Wind Engine & Pump Company foundry. The company was founded by Daniel Halladay, John Burnham, and John VanNortwick and moved to Batavia, IL. in 1863. They manufactured windmills, feed pumps, farming equipment, and railroad fixtures. Our building was constructed to use as the foundry for the company. During World War II, this foundry, along with the other foundries operating in Batavia at the time, were used to make armaments and supplies for the United States Military. U.S. Wind Engine & Pump received the Army Navy E Award, an award recognizing “Excellence in Production” during war time. 13 Craft beer available Whiskey, Bourbon, & Rum HOURS: Sunday 12pm - 7pm Monday & Wednesday 3pm - 9pm Thursday 2pm - 9pm Saturday 9am - 10pm (we host Batavia indoor Farmers Market 9am -1 2pm) Batavia EXPLORE MORE Pollyanna Brewing + Distilling Co.

We are a “Farm Distillery” on a 22 property that grows vegetables, fruits, berries, and herbs primarily for use in our Distillery and Tasting Room. When you visit us, you will come down our 1/4 mile long lane and emerge into what has been described by our guests as a “park-like” setting. We use what the land produces and our “outside of the box” special hands-on processes to produce spirits and cocktails that highlight the taste that only fresh ingredients can make. Because we also use a “Cold Distilling” processes, all the flavor essences we produce for our spirits are totally shelf stable. We have 3 year old bottles of Cucumber Vodka that taste as fresh as the day we picked the cucumbers in our Greenhouse. Whiskeys, bourbons, vodkas, rums, and moonshines available The Tasting Room is housed in an airport hangar in the middle of a 22-acre park-like setting, meaning the WHOLE WALL can be opened to the elements (weather-permitting) View our spirits HERE Rockford EXPLORE MORE Whiskey Acres LOCATION: 11504 Keslinger Road, DeKalb ABOUT: From Seed to Spirit What does it take to make the finest whiskey in the world? Start with the finest grains grown on the best soils the earth has to offer. Add water naturally filtered by the limestone aquifer found deep under those same soils. Then complete the task by handcrafting a distilled spirit using the same hands of the fifth generation farmers who grew that grain. They know the land, their ingredients, and what it means to pay attention to detail. Blend together using equipment and know-how forged in the rolling hills of Kentucky. Add a little patience. Distilling year-round and open to the public every Friday-Sunday, we are an Estate Distillery like none other in the United States. In Chicago’s own backyard. Bring your own picnic lunch!

Experimenting with the science of fermentation on whatever fruits and grains we could get our hands on. Twelve years later and plenty of experimentations under our belt we took our vision for creating unique flavors to the next level. We bought the cool old building in Clarendon Hills and we converted it into our first production distillery. We are obsessed with creating flavorful spirits of the highest quality in the most efficient way possible. Everything we do is in pursuit of that goal. We seek to incorporate unique raw materials, tools and processes in pursuit of creating our spirit and drinks. We strive to be a different kind of distillery by focusing on crafting totally unique spirits, no matter the effort required. Our goal is to create products that are unlike any that exist today.

We harness technology and combine it with small-batch craft practices and superior ingredients to take our original family recipe from exceptional to award-winning. The recipe, formulated in 1939, was first served to soldiers in WW2 and continued to be perfected throughout our family generations. Crystal Rain was born when we discovered that the true art of making handmade vodka must involve meticulous distillation coupled with technological advances to create a consistent, refined product. Based in Wheeling, IL, Crystal Rain takes attention to detail to the next level. We believe in carefully managing each step of the process. We select the finest organic ingredients. We distill each batch of vodka six times. And we utilize platinum and silver filtration to ensure a perfectly smooth drinking experience.
