Half Acre Beer Co. is invested in each end of the brewing spectrum: time-honored classics and experimental, sensory-expanding ... releases. Founded in 2007 by Gabriel Magliaro, the company has evolved from a 15-barrel brewhouse on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood into two breweries; two taprooms; and a direct-to-consumer store that brings the communal Half Acre experience full circle. Our diverse portfolio ranges from the decade-old flagship Daisy Cutter Pale Ale, to mixed fermentation and spirit barrel-aged beers. In 2019, we ranked 10th in Craft Beer & Brewing’s survey of best medium-sized breweries in the U.S. Half Acre as a company is made up of humans that respect one another, consider integrity a benchmark for success and appreciate your interest in what we make. read more
