Beer that is easy to drink and hard to put down.
 | Your Local Beer | |
CLB beers are available at hundreds of better bars, restaurants and retailers across northern Illinois. Family-owned, with roots in the community, we take pride in the fact that we brew and package our products right here in downtown Crystal Lake. But don't try us just because we're brewed right in your backyard. Instead, try a CLB because we're committed to brewing world-class beer. Beer that is easy to drink, and hard to put down.

| Holiday Seasonal - Coming Soon | |
| To All A Good Night | ABV: 7.0% |
| Christmas Ale | 30 IBUs |

| Featured Release | |
| Premium Lager Series | ABV: 5.0% |
| German Pilsner | 40 IBUs |
The one that started it all - possibly the most iconic beer style in modern history. Our fresh take on this old school brew is pillowy soft, with a kiss of German Noble hops and a crisp finish. Balanced and refreshing, it pairs well with seafood and shellfish, white cheddar, and nostalgia. | |
