Industry Brewing Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in Peoria IL)

Industry Brewing Co. sits in Peoria, Illinois, turning the city’s whiskey‑fueled past into something that actually smells like hops. The place dishes out artful pours and “elevated pub classics” with the confidence of a man who knows his way around a mash tun. A Double IPA slams you awake, while a Coffee Stout whispers that you’ve finally found a stout that behaves like a decent espresso. The food menu isn’t just chicken wings and chips; think Shrimp & Grits and a Maple Chipotle dipping sauce that could convince a pretentious food‑snob to loosen his tie.

The vibe is decidedly backyard‑cool: an axe‑throwing garden for those who fancy a bit of lumberjack drama, and a game lounge packed with more than 30 vintage arcade machines (because nothing says “serious beer drinking” like a high‑score contest over a pint). They even sell backyard s’mores kits, proving that the brewery believes memorable moments belong as much to the palate as to the imagination.

What makes Industry stand out is the industrial aesthetic coupled with a surprisingly wide non‑IPA selection, featuring a Peanut Butter Stout that tastes like a childhood treat gone adult. It’s a place where nostalgia and innovation collide, and where every bite and sip feels deliberately, unapologetically good. (The founders, who have been tinkering together for years, clearly know how to have a proper time.)
