Name: Great Barrington Area Chamber Of Commerce's Taste Fest
Start: 2026-10-21
Location: Wild Onion Brewery & Banquets

Wild Onion Brewery & Banquets sits on the shore of Lake Barrington, Illinois, and immediately proves that a good brew can be as daring as a stunt‑pilot’s trick. Their tap list reads like a mad scientist’s notebook, headlined by the Pineapple Hopslayer (yes, it’s as wild as the name suggests), a tropical hop assault that would make even the most sober palate sit up straight. The kitchen isn’t shy either – the Rachel sandwich arrives laden with house‑smoked pastrami, a nod to classic deli grandeur wrapped in a modern brew‑pub frame.

Lunches turn into a feast of crunch, thanks to fries that are both crispy and well‑done, a simple pleasure that many breweries overlook. Outside, the patio offers unobstructed lake views, perfect for sipping a fresh pint while the sun paints the water. Service shines especially when the place hums with crowds; bartenders keep the flow smooth, never missing a beat. All told, Wild Onion blends inventive brewing with solid craftsmanship, proving that you don’t need flash to make something truly memorable.
