Hold Your Horses: We’re Learning Mahjong

Our first Intro to Mahjong class is Wed., Nov. 18!

Never played mahjong? This is your night. Mahjong is a fast-growing tile game that’s a bit like rummy: you draw and discard tiles to build matching sets & be the first to complete your hand. We’ll walk you through the tiles, the rules & a few practice rounds. No experience needed, just bring a friend & grab a pint.

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

Horse Thief Hollow has captured 11 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.

On Tap

We offer a rotating selection of craft beers brewed in house by Jake Nelson. You’re welcome to order growlers or cans to go.

Little Wing

16 oz. glass ~ 7; 12 oz. glass ~ 5.25; 64 oz. growler ~ 16

Hellion

0.5 L mug ~ 7; 12 oz glass ~ 5.25; 64 oz growler ~ 20

Munich-style Helles Lager. Pale golden in color and crystal clear with notes of fresh german pilsen malts and a clean floral finish from the classic Hallertau Mittelfruh hops. Malty and easy drinking. ~ 4.9% ABV

Squeeze Box

0.5L mug ~ 7; 12 oz. glass ~ 5.50; 64 oz. growler ~ 20

This Vienna-style Lager is light copper-hued and easy drinking with a lightly toasted malt character reminiscent of bread crust and honey. ~ 5.3% ABV

Wasserwolf Jäger

0.5 L Mug ~ 7; 12 oz. glass ~ 6; 64 oz. growler ~ 20

Wasserwolf Jäger is our Munich-style Dunkel (dark lager) brewed yearly to celebrate the Oktoberfest season. German-grown Munich malts are at the heart of the beer, adding a rich bready character with light toasty notes, followed by a hint of raisin and chocolate. Fermented cold with a classic lager yeast strain and lightly hopped with classic Hallertau Mittelfruh hops, Wasserwolf Jäger is clean and refreshing while still carrying a nice malty sweetness that goes so well with this time of year. ~ 5.1% ABV

Kitchen Sink

16 oz glass ~ 6; 12 oz glass ~ 5; 64 oz growler ~ 18

Classic American Pale Ale with a caramel malt backbone featuring a load of hops with Cascade at the forefront. ~ 5.3% ABV

Soul Train: Limoncello

14 oz Teku ~ 8; 12 oz glass ~ 7; 64 oz growler ~ 28

Inspired by the traditional lemon liquor, this version of Soul Train combines our house sour base with loads of Sicilian lemon puree and a touch of vanilla for a fruity and tart beer that leans heavier into the sour realm than our previous Soul Trains. Reminiscent of a summer night enjoying a frozen Italian Lemonade out on the sidewalk! ~ 5.6% ABV

Cheval Deux

16 oz glass ~ 8; 12 oz glass ~6; 64 oz growler ~ 25

Cheval Deux is our signature fall seasonal French Amber with Sweet Potatoes and Spices. Notes of cinnamon and pumpkin give way to flavors of ginger bread, smooth vanilla, sweet caramel, brown sugar, and graham crackers. 5.6% ABV

$5 Beer Of The Week!

Delta Hurricane

16 oz. glass ~ 8; 12 oz. glass ~ 6; 64 oz. growler ~ 23

Inspired by the New Orleans traditional coffee and chicory blend, Delta Hurricane is our own take on the coffee milk stout. The base stout recipe is built on flavors of roasted barley, coffee, and dark chocolate balanced by a light punch of American hops on top of a full bodied beer, thanks in part to the addition of lactose. This batch uses the Hyperballad Espresso Blend from our friends at Four Letter Word Coffee. To round everything out in the New Orleans tradition, we blended in pure chicory sourced from a New Orleans roaster for a subtle woody and nutty character. The resulting beer is part Chicago, part New Orleans, and all HTH. 4-packs available to-go! ~ 8.0% ABV
