This small, Portage Park brewery makes beer in a retrofitted garage situated behind the Chicago Costume Company. Lake Effect is best known for its collaborations with Superdawg, in addition to year-round beer like the Falcon Dive IPA and Bitchin' Blonde Belgian. The owners are currently working on installing a permanent tasting room, but visitors can take a free tour the brewery each Saturday.
