Downtown Elmhurst Brewery Opens Next Week

ELMHURST, IL – Elmhurst's newest brewery is opening next Thursday in downtown, replacing one that closed earlier this summer.

93 Octane Brewery is set for the two-story building at 171 N. Addison Ave. It is in the same spot as Elmhurst Brewing Co., which closed in June after seven years.

In 2019, 93 Octane opened its first brewery in St. Charles. The experiment gained momentum, prompting the addition of a production operation behind its corporate headquarters, according to a news release.

Elmhurst's 6,600-square-foot brewery is set to feature a 15-barrel brewhouse, with a capacity for more than 400 people. It includes an open-air courtyard.

93 Octane plans to serve brunch, lunch and dinner, alongside 20 draft lines to pour its brews, the news release said. The business has released its main, beer, drinks and brunch menus

On Sept. 5, 93 Octane plans to release a special Hoppy Golden Ale, known as "Golden Pour Purpose." Half the draft sales of the special beer in the Elmhurst and St. Charles taprooms will benefit Cal's Angels, a group that helps children fighting cancer. That program lasts through the month.
