Pollyanna Brewing Company in Roselle, Illinois, is a study in how enthusiasm can be turned into liquid gold. They take the timeâhonoured rituals of brewing and give them a modern twist, resulting in a lineup that ranges from a barrelâaged Belgian Tripel (awardâwinning, no less) to mysterious Russian Imperial Stouts that linger long after the last drop. Seasonal creations pop up like fireworks, while the yearâround staples stay crisp and dependableâexactly what a true beer lover craves.
Four taprooms spread the joy: Lemont, Roselle, St.âŻCharles, and the cocktailâforward Pollyanna Social. Each space has its own personalityâwhether you prefer the boisterous beer garden with its heated patio and outdoor games, the liveâmusicâfilled main rooms, or the refined, cocktailâcentric vibe of Pollyanna Social. Vodka seltzers deserve a mention too; theyâre surprisingly good, and they sit comfortably beside the more traditional brews. Food vendors roam the premises, keeping bellies as satisfied as the palate.
The ethos here is simple: Optimism Is An Art. The founders (who spent a decade perfecting their mash) have turned raw ingredients, ancient techniques and a dash of creative bravado into a brewâexperience that feels both earnest and exhilarating.
