Co-founder Samuel Evans made an announcement via email, and through the company's blog and Facebook pages:
To our fans, friends and supporters -
After a lot of thinking and soul searching, we have decided to move out of The Plant. We can’t tell you how disappointed we are to leave our friends and neighbors in the Back of the Yards neighborhood. The vision and ambition of The Plant is unprecedented and we were excited to be part of it. However, due to unforeseen circumstances with the building’s continuing redevelopment, our launch would be pushed back if we remained.
We feel that it is our responsibility to our investors, our distributor and you, our consumers, to ensure that we continue moving forward toward launching New Chicago Beer Co. on time, as expected. We wish John Edel and everyone else involved with the project nothing but the best. We hope to be able to drink beer there in the future.
As for where we will be brewing – we are working on finalizing a location and we promise to keep you posted. No matter what, we have a plan in place that we feel confident will ensure our launch as planned later this year. Please feel free to email abigail@newchicagobeer.com with any additional questions or concerns about the brewery.
At this time, know that our priority has always been and continues to be making amazing beer and getting it into your hands as soon as possible. Thank you all for your support, encouragement and patience as we move forward past this transition and toward launch.
Sincerely,
Jesse, Samuel and the rest of the New Chicago Beer Co. team
If I had an inch or brewing prowess I would jump in - the process is amazing. Zero Waste? It's definitely the next goal for all breweries (we hope).To our fans, friends and supporters -

Bummer. I had high hopes for their vital role in this outfit. What will be the new input at The Plant? We'll see.
