The Downers Grove Economic Development Corporation announced today that Alter Brewing Company, Chicagoland’s newest craft brewery, will open in Downers Grove.

The brewery is located at 2300 Wisconsin, Suite 213, close to Interstate 355 and Interstate 88 and the Belmont Road Metra Station.

David Yob, Mark Hedrick and Pete Kosanovich are the founders.

The brewery plans to open later this month. Details of the opening will be posted on Alter Brewing’s website and on Facebook.

“The vision of the founders is to create world class beer while being the ‘neighborhood brewery’” Kosanovich said. “Mark Hedrick can often be heard saying ‘We are friends here!’ So this winter when there is a chill in the air, come in and have a pint with some friends. And take the time to Alter your life.”

The 8,500-square-foot production facility features 19-foot ceilings and a 20 barrel American made stainless steel brewhouse, manufactured by W.M. Sprinkman Corporation. The brewery, which has a 1,600 square foot tap room, will also be available for private parties. Alter Brewing will have continually produced beers, along with seasonal and limited release offerings.

“We’re very excited to welcome the region’s newest craft brewery to Downers Grove,” Mayor Martin Tully said. “The team at Alter Brewing Company has developed a very handsome, state of the art facility, and I look forward to their grand opening. No doubt about it, Alter Brewing Company will be another reason to call Downers Grove a destination community.
