Et år
An Independent Craft Brewery, was born, in 2013, on the near west side of Chicago on Hubbard Street (near Hubbard’s Cave), with the quest of making fine Belgian inspired ales for all beer lovers.
Founded by architect, former Marine, and Chicago native, Jerry Nelson, the brewery has since become a family operation when Jerry’s brother, Dave and his wife Jen joined in. We are fortunate to have a fabulous team of dedicated brewery professionals to work with every day.
What does it mean? Did we mention Jerry did an architecture abroad program in Versailles, France. Une Année, meaning “One Year” in French, began with a seasonal rotation of annual Belgian beers, which have since become weekly and bi-weekly releases. Our first offering, “Maya”, was made for the adults at Jerry’s daughter’s first birthday party, her une année.
