Holiday Your Way with Grayslake Cuisine

While the Merry Bells Keep Ringing, Happy Holidays to You in Grayslake

Black Lung Brewing

Black Lung Brewing Co. proudly wears its blue-collar roots, from its garage-brew beginnings in Grayslake. Founded by brewmaster Josh Grubbs, the family-driven brewery keeps tradition front and center with rotating taps, community events and a menu built for gathering. One standout pour is Noon Porter, an English-style porter that opens with soft chocolate notes before finishing with a gentle roast. Light-bodied and easy drinking, it reflects Black Lung’s approach to brewing — approachable, well-crafted and grounded in the passion that started it all.
