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.

| To All A Good Night | ABV: 7.0% |

| Fox Rocker | ABV: 5.5% |
| American Red Ale | 22 IBUs |
As a nod to Fox Rockers everywhere, consider this the power ballad of beers: inspired and smooth, yet complex. Soaring solos of caramel malt sweetness are accompanied by restrained notes of American hop spice, building to a crisp, clean finish. True fans hold their lighters high for this one. | |
