Flapjack Brewery

Flapjack Brewery is a brewery in Berwyn, IL. It operates as Berwyn's neighborhood craft brewery, producing small-batch beer alongside a kitchen serving Neapolitan-inspired, wood-fired pizzas rooted in Southern Italian tradition. The business pours its draft lineup through eight rotating taps in a taproom designed for gathering, and pairs its beer with a tight, seasonal menu built around simple, ingredient-driven preparations.

The brewery's flagship is Fantasmo Vanilla Cream Ale, a smooth and aromatic cream ale with gentle vanilla, a soft malt body, and an easy, refreshing finish. Beyond that anchor offering, the tap list rotates, with handcrafted beer available fresh on premise and through select local outlets by distribution. The kitchen centers on a wood-fired oven turning out pizzas such as Margherita with San Marzano tomato, house-made fresh mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, basil, Trapani sea salt, and olive oil; a Marinara built on San Marzano tomato, garlic, oregano, and Trapani sea salt; and rotating seasonal pies including a verdure option, an heirloom tomato and pistachio pesto pizza, and a carne pie. Antipasti round out the menu, with offerings like Olive Miste Italiane, Friselle Stagionali on D'Amato's Bakery bread with burrata, and Pane e Ricotta with whipped ricotta and roasted garlic. Kitchen hours run Wednesday through Saturday, 5:00pm to 10:00pm, with a valid ID required for those 21 and over.
