We are a small family-owned brewery specializing IN sour, wild & funky ales, with few crushable lagers mixed in. we feel a sense of time & place is necessary to craft great farmhouse beers. focusing on midwestern ingredients, WE BLEND & FERMENT OUR BEERS W/ NATIVE FRUITS, VEGETABLES, HERBS, SEEDS, SALTS & MICROFLORA TO CREATE BALANCED BEERS THAT TASTE NATURAL. WE USE A VEGAN CONSCIENCE APPROACe & try our best to use this platform to uplift OUR COMMUNITY, by MAKING USE OF OUR LOCAL AGRICULTURAL PARTERS & GIVING BACK TO PEOPLE IN NEED.

WITH OUR BEVERAGES WE hope to enlighten your childhood sense of adventure. taking us down a path of exploration & discovery, while trying to not take ourselves too seriously. We came into this industry as artists first, not brewers. our fascination w/ the history & agricultural story of beer has kept us on a path to crafting something uniquely ours.

starting this project in a garage BACK IN 2015, our identity was found through experimentation, research & a yearning to understand the past. we craft beers in a similar fashion to how our ancestors may have. wether we’re drawing inspiration from the fashionable old world beers from booming dutch cities, wild beers from the flemish low country, or expressive farmhouse ales the Scandinavia; all of these feel like dutchbag. small batch brewing using fresh ingredients ~ collaborating with our neighbors & friends to produce fun & funky biers for chicagoland.

dutchies stay loose.
