Spiteful Brewing is stop #4 on my 2025 Chicago Brewery Exploration. This place is buzzing with energy—clearly a popular hangout. They’ve got a wide selection of IPAs, which made me happy, plus some English-style offerings for a nice change of pace. Everything I sampled was well-made and flavorful. The space has a casual, unpretentious vibe that makes it easy to settle in and enjoy the lineup. Another strong entry in Chicago’s impressive brewery scene.

Spiteful Brewing is a great spot to grab a drink and hang out. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, with a solid selection of beers to choose from. If you’re hungry, they have a few options to snack on. Best of all, it’s dog-friendly, so you can bring your pup along while you enjoy the vibes. Definitely worth a visit!

Had their beers at bars and restaurants but it was nice to visit the actual tap room. Brews and vibes are good; staff not so much. You can say they are "spiteful," no pun intended. Asked whether or not they are part of the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild and [Summer] Passport and one of the fellas let us know that they are not on good terms with ICBG, noting a one-way street sort of deal (Thanks for the info?). This spot was actually on the ICBG/Illinois Beer website. Anyway, besides all this, customers are nice and I like how they have a collab with Pequod's Pizza.

We managed to visit on a beautiful October afternoon, so we were able to take advantage of the (dog-friendly) patio area. Very nice neighborhood atmosphere, and a great selection of beer from light to dark and in between. Nice amount of space if you need to sit inside. Friendly staff too --- definitely plan on visiting again!

Spiteful Brewing Tap room is a relaxed, comfortable space with a wide variety of beers (to drink on premises or take away.)
I had the vienna lager and an IPA. Both were super tasty. My friends and I shared a large pretzel served piping hot with generous dollop of mustard. I am excited to go again soon.
