For the price, this tour is a bargain. As well as learning all about the history of FEW, and how the spirits are made, you get to taste all of their standard range of spirits (six when writing this). They also encourage questions, so get asking!! Practical stuff... It's really easy to get to on the 'L' from downtown. Takes about 40 minutes on the red and purple lines, and then a few minutes walk up the road. It's down an alleyway, off the main street, but there is no street side sign (probably due to licensing laws). But if you look down the alley you can see it - it's a pretty distinctive building and can't be missed. The tasting room has a shop where you can buy branded swag. There are a few tables with high stalls for sitting at on the tasting part of the tour. They also have a restroom. They don't serve food, but there are plenty of restaurants a 5-10 minute walk up the street where you can eat before the tour or after. There are no stairs to navigate, but there is a step from the tasting room into the distillery area. And as it's a working distillery you may find you need to navigate around equipment, and step over a pipe. It can also be a bit noisy. Definitely worth the trip out of town!

Such an amazing distillery, great variety of gins and whiskeys. There is a tasting room you can try all their amazing selections. Their swag shelves are full of interesting glasses, maple syrups and hats. There is also a game night a d drinks on Thursdays. Note: you can purchase any of their products at most major liquor stores. Binnys has a great selection of their product.
This is a hole in the wall and you have to look down an alley to find the entrance but it was fun being in an Uber and the driver kept doing U turns. We finally got out and found it down the alley. The cost is 10 for the “tour” and fun tasting. The tour was interesting as the place is very small you basically see the whole distillery upon arrival. Zach was our guide and host and he did a good job explaining the history of FEW along with the sparse sample of each type of gin, bourbon and whiskey. It was a fun hour!
FEW Distillery is a great place to learn more about FEW spirits and their production, but it’s not the most informative or picturesque craft distillery I’ve ever visited. But it's worth stopping in if you’re in the neighborhood. Or it's an easy detour from Chicago on the red/purple L lines.
Location is tricky; between 2 buildings in the alleyway. Looks a little sketchy but safe, just keep walking until you see their sign. There is only street parking. Tour is thorough, humorous, and educational with the history of prohibition included. Tour finishes with a tasting and cocktails for purchase. Space is small but experience is enjoyable.
