La Grange resident Grant Hamilton and Brookfield brewer Brett Semenske are working together to open Imperial Oak Brewing, a new commercial brewery, in Willow Springs in 2014, the Doings La Grange reported on December 3.
Imperial Oak Brewing began construction this week.
This is what the company owners say, “While we've been planning and doing everything else involved in starting a brewery we have managed to make a few beers. We've obtained two 15 gallon whiskey barrels. The first, a Rye Whiskey Barrel from FEW Spirts was used to age an Imperial Red Ale. The Red aged for about 3 months before it was kegged and a Milk Stout was added for the second turn. The second barrel, a Bourbon Barrel from Journeyman Distillery, is currently holding a Russian Imperial Stout.”
