Today marks one year of Blind Corner.
So many amazing experiences to reflect upon, but what makes this journey matter even a little bit is the incredible support we receive from our community of friends, neighbors, and retail partners everyday. To each of you who visit the taproom, and those who support their local bars, restaurants, and beer shops serving BC beer - we truly appreciate you.
And a special thank you to Joe & crew at @gobrewing for welcoming us to their beautiful brewery. Without your generosity, and sharing this unique opportunity, Blind Corner may not even be here today.
Help celebrate this occasion by joining us at the taproom on Saturday, February 7th as we dial it up for an Après ski style soirée. Four new beers, live DJ, curling, shot-skis, and more. It’s going to be a vibe, and it’s all for you.
Onward and upward, always.
This week we had the honor of delivering on a promise years in the making. Following a truly remarkable outpouring of love and support from our local community, we were able to present Comer Children’s Hospital with the proceeds from Forever Bloom.
In loving memory of Emma Charlotte, we donated $23,555.72 to fund pediatric cancer research and local support programs through Edward Hospital, Naperville.
Forever Bloom was a beautiful experience, and we are so proud of what we accomplished, but getting there was anything but easy. We mourned with you as we shared Emma’s story. The pain of losing a loved one is unlike any other, and we asked you to feel it, too. We hoped that it may move you to action, and it did.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all who supported our efforts. Emma’s legacy is our Forever Bloom, and this is just the beginning.
For everyone here at Blind Corner, craft beer has always been about more than just the beer itself. It’s about the people behind the bar, the regulars who became friends, the breweries down the road cheering each other on, and the community that keeps showing up for one another.
Today’s Friends & Neighbors showcase is a celebration of exactly that: good beer, shared passion, and the reminder that this industry is better when we grow together.
We also want to give a huge thank you to @oldirvingbrewing , @mikerphonebrewing , & @triptychbrewing for helping us fill the taps tonight. We are proud to be part of this community.

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing women in our lives, especially these incredible ladies. May your day be filled with peace, love, and joy. Thank you for all you do.
It’s Summer Passport Day ☀️🍻
Swing by the taproom to grab yours before they’re gone — because they’ll go quick.
Bonus: Start strong with a two-for-one stop @gobrewing
New can, same crusher. Local Rule returns.
LOCAL RULE
Berliner Weisse | ABV: 4.3%
Born of the land, known by few, and followed without question. Like the crumbs of a wafer cookie, with zested lemon tang. Bright, airy effervescence.
LUNAR DELAY
Hazy IPA | ABV: 6.6%
Hops: Dolcita LupoMax, El Dorado, Citra
Time slips just enough to feel it, a soft lag between motion and meaning. Notes and aromas like candied stone fruit, bruised pineapple, and a low, resinous hum drifting beneath it all.
DISTANT RECEIVER
Hazy DIPA | ABV: 7.5%
Hops: HBC 638, Idaho 7, Cryo Mosaic
Signals arrive late, but clear, pulled from somewhere just beyond reach. Notes and aromas like ripe mango flesh, late season orchard bloom, and mellow citrus oil.
To the moms, stepmoms, grandmas, and chosen moms—this one’s for you.
Join us on Mother’s Day, grab a cocktail, and take the glass home with you.
A little something to remember the day. 💐

We’re two weeks away from the start of Illinois Craft Beer Week, and this year we are narrowing our focus.
Of course, the standard celebrations continue at Beer Under Glass, and the annual fan favorite Passport Program returns, but we also intend to spend a good amount of our time and energy saying thank you to those who keep this brewery moving forward.
Our first highlight is our Friends & Neighbors special guest tapping on Thursday, May 14th. Alongside Mikerphone’s fresh release of our collaboration, ‘Now Playing: Blind Corner’ West Coast IPA, we’re also tapping their recent release of Moksa Blends A Lot BA Stout. To further dial it up, we’re pouring Old Irving’s 28 More Months BA Barleywine, and Triptych’s BA Coconut Chocolate Stout. Everything will be available when we open at 3pm, and we do not expect these beers to last long.
Save the date, friends – more to come.
Run for the Roses 🌹🏇
Mint juleps, party games, and a crowd worth dressing up for.
Get your hat and join us for derby day at Blind Corner, this Saturday, 2pm!
