An anchor tenant of The Plant, Chicago's premier vertical urban farm and food business incubator, craft brewer Whiner Beer Co. exemplifies the collaborative, sustainability minded startups populating this former meat-packing facility in Back of the Yards. Their beer program focuses on barrel aging and sours with wild yeasts, producing exotic and frequently amazing results. The taproom is industrial chic with high ceilings, concrete columns laced with Edison bulbs and wooden tables with built in planters.
