Afterthought Brewing Company is a small, family-run, Saison-focused brewery in Lombard, Illinois brewing 1.5-barrel batches. The saisons made by Afterthought take inspiration from Old World traditions, but also incorporate American and other New World fruit and hops. They emphasize the use of oak and fermentation with yeast and bacteria outside of traditional brewer’s yeast, utilizing Midwestern ingredients whenever possible.

The individual beers are based on concepts and, like wine, will vary from batch to batch as production is entirely manual, without any automation. The Afterthought beers are dry, relatively low in alcohol, highly carbonated and thirst quenching. They create subtle beers that we truly enjoy and we believe that you will too!
