For people who love European-style offerings — from hefeweizens and Kölsches to smoky Grodziskies — Dovetail Brewery in North Center is heaven. Its relaxed vibe makes it approachable for imbibers of all types, but beer geeks can buckle down and sip through spontaneously fermented beers like fruity krieks, framboises, and funky bourbon-barrel-aged gueuzes while affable bartenders school you in Belgian malts and lagering traditions. There’s nowhere else in Chicago doing this stuff. 1800 W. Belle Plaine Ave. dovetailbrewery.com
