ERIS Brewery and Cider House

Eris Chicago. As many know, I unfortunately am allergic to beer..... total bummer I know. However, I am quite the fan of ciders and always on the look out for a new cider to try or cidery to explore! I was lucky enough to visit Eris Chicago this summer and I loved it! ERIS was inspired by the eponymous Greek goddess notorious for causing mayhem. As the story goes, Eris threw the golden apple of discord into a party that she wasn’t invited to, thus creating a chaotic scene as every goddess in attendance scrambled for its beauty. Eris says they make their impression in the city of over 100 breweries by throwing an apple into the party as well, by making hard cider! During my visit I ate, no surprise to anyone, the burger and fries! A 8oz blend of Angus chuck, brisket & short rib with sharp cheddar, bacon jam, greens, tomato, pickles, brioche bun. It was delicious! I also drank the VAN VAN MOJO which was a Blueberry cider hopped with Mosaic. (6.1% ABV) and the Blush which was a dark sweet and tart cherry blend. (6.1% ABV) My entire experience was wonderful and I can’t wait to get back and try more of the ciders! Cheers!

ERIS Brewery and Cider House

I love this cider brewery because the owners and brew master are all women! Ciders are brewed in house and they also serve food! It is a great place for those who love beer and those who usually pass - they offer a range from tasty cider to beers and everything in between, including their awesome blends between the two. The brewery is located in an old Masonic building and is themed after the god of strife and discord, Eris. The environment has a rustic touch and there is so much history to take in. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area!
