This nanobrewery is only open one day per month, but its menu of hazy New England IPAs, wheat ales, American brown ales, and Russian imperial stouts is worth marking your calendar.

Energy City Brewing, located at 917 First Street in Batavia, Illinois, is renowned for its inventive and flavorful approach to craft beer. The brewery has gained a loyal following for its signature heavily fruited Berliner Weisse beers, such as the popular Bistro Smoothie series, which features vibrant combinations like mango, pineapple, banana, peach, apricot, and more, often blended with vanilla, spices, or pastry-inspired ingredients for a dessert-like experience. In addition to their acclaimed sours, Energy City Brewing offers a creative lineup of imperial pastry stouts and hazy IPAs, frequently incorporating bold flavors such as graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and even spicy additions like habanero peppers. The brewery operates a welcoming taproom with weekend hours and offers curbside pickup, making it easy for fans to enjoy their latest releases.
