Alter Brewing Company

Met friends Tuesday night for Trivia Night with my daughter and I. Parking was easy, outside seating was nice, plenty of seating in the initial entrance of the brewery as well as once we worked our way to the back to where trivia night was. The crowd unfortunately wasn't that diverse, which ultimately also explained why trivia wasn't as well, however that was completely separate from the brewery experience itself. I'm not a beer drinker so I had an Arnold Palmer however my table really enjoyed all of their different flavored beers. Very nice establishment

Great beer and great service. We spent the evening listening to a talented musician playing guitar, keyboards and singing (Mike Rago). This was a fantastic evening in a very fun setting. Will definitely be back!

Good beers, friendly server, and great outdoor dining tent. We brought our own pizza from nearby Dans to their taproom. We decided to try this place in conjunction with the pizza place because they were in the "Illinois beer passport" program this year. Alter has a big outdoor tent with tables. The night we went was also a food truck there. All and all a nice experience, glad we made the trek down to Downers Grove.

Came here last night with a group of friends. It was busy!! Good vibes and great beer. The oatmeal stout was super super good!

We went to AlterBC after a friend repeatedly invited us and Finally went. It's in a newer business park area, easily accessible and plenty of parking. Taco truck waiting outside that evening. Inside is typical industrial, metal walls, high ceilings, with the exposed tanks, but very clean and not smelly like some breweries. There was a game wall too and there was a lively group whooping it up playing a game, which was especially nice to see ppl having fun. Garage doors opened up to outdoor seating for a nice breeze. This evening the place seemed divided generationally with X'ers inside and young parents outside...although the latter seems common. As far as the beer was concerned, the Orange Whip, a citrus flavored milkshake like beer was really tasty, and hubby had a Cherry Wheat Ale, and the Golden Pale Ale, both which he enjoyed. Service was attentive and good. Overall a pleasant evening, and this is one of the breweries that I'd really like to go to on the regular.

Really delicious Beer. Fun trivia Night. Clean spacious space. Great staff.

Pretty solid line up of beers. Several options in cans and they fill growlers and crowlers too.

A large outdoor and indoor seating available the indoor is filled with wood and metal to give it an industrial look with amber lighting for a relaxing feel. Outdoor seating is comfortable with the lights giving it a nice feel. The beer selection is good along with the cider food is available also they are large with three levels great for an event

(3.75) ~ Good Overall Craft Brewery

BEERS TRIED:
** HVAC = (4.25) Very good & My fav:) It's a Barleywine at 12% ABV.
** Alto Porto = (4) very good
** Blueberry Flip = (4) very refreshing Hard Seltzer
* Heavy Squeeze = (3.75) Refreshing
* Red, Wheat + Blue = (3.75) Good
* Center Line = (3.5) good
* Ambigram = (3.25) pretty good aroma, but too hoppy for me.
* Hopular Kid = (3.25) too hoppy for me
*** Festbier = Next time since it's only in 6-pack (cans)

Great beer, great food. Wonderful atmosphere. Whether it's for lunch, dinner or just drinks, I've never had a bad experience here.
They're baby and child friendly, offer high chairs and aren't too loud/crazy of an atmosphere if you're going for a weekend lunch. When the weather permits, their patio right on the river can't be beat!
Great, attentive service, and for the beer drinkers they have select six packs and two sizes of growlers to go.
Highly recommend.
