Welcome to The Map Room Beer Pages

Too often we slam a beer and then slam another. We don't appreciate the finer qualities of beer. We see the commercials, raise our glass, and gulp it down. We might take the time to reflect on a bottle of wine, but never beer.

But at Map Room, we always take beer very seriously. We offer over 200 unique brands representing 36 different brewing styles from the U.S. and all over the globe. Whether you choose from of our 26 taps, a cask-conditioned ale on handpump, or one of our bottled beers, the quality and selection is world-class. The proper glass is always used for each style, then rinsed before serving to insure optimal head retention. Our draft and cooling systems are state-of-the-art, and our staff has been trained in draft systems technology and quality.

Our beer menu is constantly changing because we take enormous pride in our selection, ensuring freshness and a wide variety. We try to keep our pub and online menus as up-to-date as possible, but to be absolutely certain of what's available on a given day, please ask your server or phone ahead (773.252.7636).

Map Room now carries Bard's Tale Dragon's Gold for all our guests who are on a gluten-free diet.

Beer of the Month, Lagunitas IPA, $4/pint

Our beer of the month for May is Lagunitas IPA (5.7% abv), a remarkably balanced, yet obviously hoppy, American IPA from this great San Francisco Bay Area brewery. Grab a pint all month at an excellent pint.

Cask Conditioned Ale

Map Room always features a cask conditioned ale, cellared in our separate cask cooler and served via handpump. These beers rotate quite regularly, often more than once per week. Make sure to check the beer menu above the bar for the latest offering, or ask your server. Our current real ale is Two Brothers Bare Tree Weiss Wine (11% abv), a powerful, yet smooth barleywine-strength beer brewed with a sizable portion of wheat malt.
