Help Us Build The First Ever ChiCAGO Brewseum
Beer is more than a drink; it’s a driving force that built the city. The Chicago Brewseum celebrates this noble beverage by honoring the history behind it, the brewers who craft it, the communities that thrive around it, and the culture that adores beer today. Join the Chicago Brewseum in raising a glass to beer’s dynamic role in making Chicago such an amazing place to live. There’s a lot to drink in.

How Can I Help?
How Can I Help?
We are currently working on building our very first exhibition at one of Chicago's major museums. The exhibition will open in late October and will examine Chicago's 19th century urban development through the lens of its brewing industry and the immigrant community who built it.
A story about 19th Century Chicago needs a 21st Century community to make it happen. That's where you come in. Click the donate button below to support our mission to build this exhibition. And signup for updates on how to get involved. The Chicago Brewseum is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit recognized by the IRS so your donation is tax-deductible. Cheers to that!
