Post #1 - December 2nd, 2014, 1:11 pmSmylie Brothers Brewing Company is, if I am keeping count correctly, Evanston's third brewery. It also serves a full menu that includes barbecue, wood-fired pizzas, and sandwiches. Take a break from bad office-party food and join the Evanston Lunch Group for a convivial holiday-time lunch of barbecue and beer (and anything else on the menu we feel like trying).

Post #2 - December 2nd, 2014, 1:25 pmI'll be there, since it's only about three blocks from the house. The beers there are very good, and I can stumble home.
And yes, it's Evanston's third brewery. In order:
1. Temperance
2. Peckish Pig
3. Smylie Bros
4. Sketchbook
That is, unless you include Boilover Brewery, brewing in Evanston since 1994. It's in my basement.

Post #13 - December 16th, 2014, 4:14 pmSorry to report that I will have to be at a funeral on Thursday. We currently have a reservation under my name for 10 people at 12:30 at Smylie Brothers. I guess we will be only 9, but I will leave the reservation stand. I will PM all signed up with details.

Post #14 - December 18th, 2014, 5:39 pmUnfortunately, I am not much for beer at lunch - still had work to do today.
However, the food and company were excellent. We had pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches and 2 pizzas: truffle mushroom - dried mushrooms, spinach and cheese topped with truffle oil and the smokehouse pizza - smoked brisket with jalapenos and cheese.
I had a last minute doctors appointment, so I had to duck out before desert - but they all sounded wonderful and all had alcohol.
The space is very large, but since they kept the music to a reasonable level, we were able to converse - something that is now a deal breaker for me at a restaurant.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
