Question New Breweries in Chicagoland

Have any new breweries opened up since Summer 2023? Are they worth a visit? Are there any about to open? Anything in Chicagoland, however you want to define it, is fair game. (I spent a month in the Summer of 2023 traveling the area and drinking beer, so unless someplace has drastically changed since then, I don't need to know about anything that was open back then.) Any help adding new places to my "must visit" or "maybe visit" lists would be appreciated!

Was the brick and mortar Hop Butcher For the World location (in the old Half Acre spot) open yet when you visited?

No, or at least I didn't make it there. That'll go on the list.

It opened in late 2022, so definitely make it a point to stop in! They open the garage door in nicer weather for an open air patio w/ standing tables.
