Metropolitan Brewing
Metropolitan Brewing was a brewery located in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 2008 by then-husband and wife team Doug and Tracy Hurst. It was originally located in a converted warehouse in a historically industrial area of the Ravenswood neighborhood of Chicago. In 2017, they moved to a larger facility with a taproom at 3057 N Rockwell Street in Chicago. Metropolitan focused exclusively on brewing lagers in the traditional German style, the only craft brewery in Chicago to do so. Doug Hurst earned a brewing diploma at the Siebel Institute of Technology.
