***UPDATE***

It looks the proposed Lagunitas Chicago Tap Room is no longer on track for a spring opening. More HERE. Probably shoulda saw that coming, huh.

***END UPDATE***

Lagunitas Founder Tony Magee took to twitter on Monday to provide an update on how things are coming along with a planned brewery and tap room in Chicago. He also notes that Rahm Emanuel “digs craft beer.”

The tap room, at 18th and Rockwell in the Douglas Park neighborhood, is slated for an April opening while the production brewery (at the same address) is positioned for a September opening.

Note: This place is going to be huge. Massive. Gargantuan. So we’re looking forward to our first visit, as you can imagine.

Chicago is on track; 1st brew in late Sept. Last wk we ordered the nu bottle line @ 550bpm. Two 2bbl/min centrifuges too. Taproom by April.. — LagunitasT (@lagunitasT) January 21, 2013

One important meeting w/Chi Fire Dept this week and we'll be on our way forward. The city's treating us very well in every way. Kewl, it is. — LagunitasT (@lagunitasT) January 21, 2013

Watchin' Rahm E. on TV this morning in Washington DC… he's been a very important person in our Chicago experience. He does dig craft beer! — LagunitasT (@lagunitasT) January 21, 2013
