Thank you for always showing us love. This truly has been a dream come true. We’re stoked for the beers we currently have in tanks, and all the ones to come in ‘26. Sincerely, Hop Butcher

These breweries inspire us and drive us. We’re thankful to consider so many of them friends.

Tell us what you think.

We’re humbled to share company alongside the breweries on these lists - many of whom we’ve had the pleasure to pour shoulder to shoulder with and drink beers together in states all across the country.

In addition, we snagged some extra heady accolades. 💥#2 Favorite Hazy IPA Brewer 💥#3 Favorite Pale Ale Brewer 💥#4 American or West Coast IPA Brewer 💥#12 Readers Choice Top 25 Beers of 2025 for Grid

…This is where a fun new partnership was born. Turns out, a lot of you Hop Butchers love/have dogs. So, we teamed up with @HappyDogBarkery in downtown Downers Grove to use some of our spent grain to make these dog treats for all of those doggos!

Once our brewers get what they need from the grains used to make beer, what’s left is known as spent grain. Spent grain can be and is often composted or picked up by farmers and used as food for livestock. It can also be turned into flour and used in baking…
