Cruz Blanca is a small-batch Chicago brewery passionately focused on ModMex lagers, sunny IPAs and tropical wild-fermented sours. Inspired by the original Cruz Blanca Brewery that opened in Mexico City in the 1860’s, Cruz Blanca makes beers that open people up to new flavors, new ideas, and new experiences. From endlessly refreshing Mexican lagers and sunny IPAs that transport us to warmer places, to the less-travelled roads of barrel-aged and wild fermentation ales, there’s always a journey in the beer that keeps us curious about what’s next.
Their Randolph St. brewpub is a Rick Bayless venture, right next door to his fabulous Leña Brava restaurant, with some shared kitchen space. The taquéria features tacos made with Masienda heirloom bolita corn tortillas from Michoacán and Oaxaca, and chicken from Gunthorp Farms (Indiana) that they and we will be bringing to Andersonville this one night only.
