Industry Brewing Co. - Peoria, Illinois

Does Industry set the industry standard?

I’ve been to Industry quite a few times but it was either for work lunches or various events so I’ve never been able to try their alcoholic choices until now. Emily and I were out and about and decided we needed a beer and some chill time after walking around Grand Prairie Mall all afternoon.

We dropped in on a quiet Saturday afternoon and were greeted by some friendly staff. Emily and I grabbed a seat next to an open window so we could enjoy the breeze and somewhat warm temps. Emily grabbed a Pineapple Pleaser and I grabbed a Happy Hour kolsch beer. A few sips into my beer, I knew I didn’t like it one bit. I’ve had some kolsch beers before and this one just wasn’t doing it for me. Emily liked her sour and it was funny seeing the faces she made until she got used to it. After having a few sips of her drink, I get why cause it was indeed sour to the max. I did get a sample of their hefenweizen and somehow I straight up didn’t like it one bit, which is weird since that’s one of my go-to drinks at breweries. Nothing else looked appetizing on the beer list so I stuck with finishing off the Happy Hour and the sample of the hefenweizen.

Aside from the beer, the food here is great. We didn’t eat since we were still full from Weaver’s but every time I’ve been here for a work lunch or event, the food has knocked it out of the park every single time. On top of having delicious food, they have a really nice outdoor area with axe throwing and a spot for your dogs to do their business.

We did eye the merch on our way in and ended up snagging some stuff on the way our. Emily got a hoodie and I snagged a shirt. Maybe you’ll see it pop up in a future review! They also have some free stickers if you are into that kind of thing. I know I snagged two for myself. 😛

I really want to love Industry Brewing and do like everything about the place outside of their beer offerings. Maybe I’ll go back in the future and see if the menu changed and they had something that my palate likes.

Absolutely delicious! I always get the tenders. The honey chipotle dip is delicious! They've got a pretty good selection of beers too, and all the ones I've had have been really good!

Chicken Tenders with Maple Chipotle dipping sauce was excellent! Service was exceptional. My waitress, Emma, was the best. Industry Brewing beer selections is spectacular. I enjoyed the Make Mine a Venti, Pumpkin Spice Ale, and Got Room their Peanut Butter Stout that is spot on with my meal. No brainer to do a build ayour own 4 pack to go!

Awesome stop and definitely would return! The loaded waffle fries and Southwest pizza were delicious. We enjoyed our flights and they also have great swag. Our server Sara was great!

We stopped here for a snack with the dog we are rescuing, Pepper. The wings, fries and beer were great. Felt very welcome with Pepper. Thanks!

Food was ok.. I was pretty disappointed. There really wasn't much flavor. Our waitress was very inattentive, but she was kind. Atmosphere was fine. It's very nice inside. We were sat in the back room though and didn't see anything else they had to offer. I would probably skip this place if it were an option again. Also-i got a cocktail- it was $13! And underwhelming.

Great beer, great food, and pretty typical/expected industrial vibe. I'm always happy to see a brewery that's not obsessed with IPAs (they have them, but they're not 2/3 of the menu) and has food that actually impresses. The Cajun chicken sandwich is great, and the beers I tried were excellent. I'll be back to try the others that sounded good!

This place is absolutely amazing. The beer is really good and the food is amazing. The staff is very polite and the they have both indoor and outdoor sitting with great ambience. The outdoor sitting is perfect for a cool summer evening. Their shandy beer is a must try.

Went twice in one week because the first time I was so impressed. Good selection of beer and much better than average brewery food. Highly recommend the loaded waffle fries. If you're not a beer drinker they have a full bar with all the standards. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Sit outside if the weather is good because there's a lot to look at. Bring your pooch too. They have a doggie play area or just park your mutt next to your table. Fire pits, beer tap waterfall, ax throwing range, and a seating area above the outdoor bar. Great vibe and friendly, knowledgeable servers.

I like to call places like this "Bucket List Breweries" because places like this are truly few and far between. The food is amazing, the atmosphere between a lovely beer garden featuring axe throwing and beautiful views, the beer is beyond amazing, and the customer service makes you feel like you're a friend hanging out with another friend even if you've never stepped food in the building before. I tried 8 beers, including the Comp It, which has become my favorite Red Ale ever, Sunday's Sidework Hefe, Day Shift Apricot Wheat, Happy Hour Kolsch, Goalden Light, 309 Vienna Lager, Patio's Poppin' Raspberry Shandy, and Summa Time Orange Sour. I brought cans of the Comp It and 309 with me. Audrey and Mercedes are both knowledgeable and friendly and give you a great customer service experience. Can't wait to visit again.
