Pilot Project Craft Beer Incubator Plans Second Chicago Brewpub
New Location Near Wrigley Field to Spin Off Logan Square Mainstay
It isn't easy for startups to break into the crowded craft beer market. That is why Pilot Project Brewing — an incubator for new and emerging brands — is such an asset to the Chicago region's beer scene. Labels it has helped launch include Funkytown Brewery, a buzz-worthy black-owned brewery.
So, as an early, early adopter of craft beer, I was pleased to learn that Pilot Project is planning to add another brewpub to their lineup of their original location in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood and their much larger production facility in Milwaukee.
And the most exciting part (for me) is that the new location, expected to open this spring, will be walking distance away from where we live in Lakeview — specifically 3473 N. Clark St., just a couple of blocks south from Wrigley Field, the historic home of the Chicago Cubs.
