History
Tighthead Brewing Company was founded by Owner/Brewer Bruce Dir and began production in the fall of 2011. The production brewery and tap room are located adjacent to the Metra train station in Mundelein, Illinois and produce quality ales and lagers for all seasons. Our Comfortably Blonde Ale, Scarlet - Fire Red Ale, Chilly Water Pale Ale and Irie IPA are currently being distributed throughout the Chicago area in draught form only. Our Tap room typically features 12 - 16 beers on tap, many of which are seasonal beers and are only available in the tap room by the pint or growler. Our approach is two-fold, to brew quality beer is a must, but we also want to turn as many people on to as many craft beer styles as we can. Brewmaster Billy Oaks handles the majority of the brewing and manages the brewing operations at Tighthead. Our 15 BBL brew house was fabricated new by Newlands Systems, Inc. and will produce about 3200 BBL a year at capacity.
