  • Excelent quality, delicious tasting beer. Zumbier owner/ Beervangelist Larry Bloom prides himself in being the owner of the first brewery in Waukeegan since 1916. He and his team are dedicated to bring great quality brew as well as fun food pairings to Lake county. This venue is not fancy but charming in it's simplicity. The decor is rustic and the is a nice little patio in the parking lot. The back of the warehouse is available for pricey parties for a nominal fee. There are frequent special beer releases accompanied by food trucks and bands. Thursday night each week hosts trivia in the warehouse, summers outside in the tent and is ever more popular with teams of all sizes participating. Includes table service. Free home made popcorn that is made daily and seasoned with an in house spice blend is served at each table. They call it 'crack corn' as it's pretty addictive. Rachelle, the tap room manager is affable and efficient. She goes out of her way to meet everyone desires with speed and a dashing smile. Let's also not forget about the most important part. The craft beer. Zumbier offers 18 rotating traps with an ever changing menu. Styles range from light German beers as well as a variety of pale ale, new Engler IPA, Session Saisons, Red Ale and barrel aged imperial stouts. There's a little something for every taste preference. If you're from around here or out of town this should be a must visit on your list of breweries.
  • This place is awesome is my first time in here and the place are good the employees are great and the beer are so good I want to try more different beers, Price are good for a brewery you can go from a Kolsch to a Hefeweizen to Ipa to actually a Michelada and more they have a beer for all taste. The pictures are the SRM x2 and Michelada de pepino ( cucumber). Theplace have a tent for drinking outside and the tables have a good space between them so you can drink and have fun and try something new you can't go wrong with any beer cheers.
