Home of the World’s Best Pilsner—& Then Some

Horse Thief Hollow has captured 10 medals and counting in prestigious beer competitions

silver
We brew great beer and have the bling to prove it. In our 10th year of brewing on Chicago’s South side, we earned our 10th craft beer award. Little Wing Pilsner captured gold medals at the World Beer Cup this Spring & at the Great American Beer Festival in the Fall of 2023. Cheers to that!

Over the past decade, including the pandemic, we’ve maintained a focus on producing consistently excellent beer and Southern-inspired food. We’re humbled to receive this recognition & hope that it leads you to visit us on South Western Avenue in Beverly.
