BREWERY

CRAFT MEXICAN CERVEZA


Since opening in Chicago’s West Loop in 2016, the Cruz Blanca brewpub has thrilled audiences with award-winning craft beers and one of the best taquería menus in the city.

Cruz Blanca is Cerveza Refreshed — setting a lively table where Mexican flavor meets craft innovation. The brand is driven by a colorful, urban spirit anchoring a refreshing lineup of sunny lagers and fruited ales perfectly paired with an elevated approach to street food favorites.

TAQUERÍA Y MAS

SMOKE ALLEY TAQUERÍA


Choose your pleasure — half-cured flank steak, chorizo, chicken or portobello — and our taqueros will pile it all on a big beer tray with wood-grilled knob onions, peppers, smoky Oaxacan pasilla salsa, guacamole, crunchy pico de gallo, and limey cucumbers. And, of course, a stack of fresh-made tortillas. We also offer Oaxcan-style tlayudas— gigantic, shareable tostadas with black bean spread, cheese, and your choice of wood-grilled proteins.

KEEP ALL LINES OPEN AND FLOWING

As expressed by our crossroads logo, Keep all lines open and flowing is a mantra for making and serving good beer — a reflection of our commitment to sharing and exploring possibilities.

Cruz Blanca makes beers that open people up to new flavors, new ideas, and new experiences. From endlessly refreshing Mexican lagers and sunny IPAs that transport us to warmer places, to the less-traveled roads of barrel-aged and wild fermentation ales, there’s always a journey in the beer that keeps us curious about what’s next.

We’re all at the same long table (with tacos), and there’s always room for one more.
