Dovetail Brewery, located in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, is a craft brewery specializing in traditional European styles and methods. Founded in 2016 by master brewers Bill Wesselink and Hagen Dost, who met while studying brewing in Munich, Dovetail emphasizes classic German, Czech, and Belgian-style beers, using techniques like decoction mashing, coolshipping, open fermentation, and patient maturation in horizontal lager tanks. They are known for their commitment to quality and producing clean, flavorful, and balanced beers that are a departure from the prevalence of heavily hopped IPAs in American craft brewing.
