Coast to coast, and right here in the Midwest, American craft beer is taking over. We're huge fans of our local craft scene in Chicago, the suburbs, and great towns throughout America. And after traveling the country in search of great beers, we hatched a plan to bring them all right back here, to our home in Elgin. We are a destination for locals and visitors alike — and we hope to see you soon. We are a 21-and-over establishment.

During this most excellent Fest Season, we have the immaculate Hofbräu München Oktoberfestbier on tap for your beer garden enjoyment!

It has a delicious toasted malt aroma and a crisp hop finish. It's as good as it gets, infinitely drinkable and available NOW at Plank Road Tap Room! Oans, Zwoa, G'suffa!

***we also have Hofbräu Original and Dunkel on tap - there's no wrong choice

When the weather changes the plans, you move the party. 🍷

Saturday’s storms brought the Plank Road Tap Room Udina Wine Mixer indoors to Chip Shots... and it turned into such a fun evening.

Guests were welcomed with a glass of wine and passed hors d’oeuvres from Suburban Graze before making their way through more than 20 wines to sample. Windy Bloom Flowers added an extra special touch with sweet little bouquets for guests to take home. 💐

Dinner was served fresh from the Chip Shots Food Truck, and we even opened up the simulators for a little friendly competition—because nothing pairs with wine quite like taking a few shots at a pirate ship. 🏴‍☠️🍷

A last-minute change of venue turned into the perfect cozy night of great wine, great food and even better company.

Thank you to everyone who rolled with the weather and joined us. The Udina Wine Mixer continues to be one of our favorite events of the year. Cheers to making the most of a rainy Saturday! 🥂

Just a reminder that today's Udina Wine Mixer has been moved to Chip Shots Golf & Whiskey Bar due to the inclement weather preventing us to safely hold it in our beer garden.

The Tap Room will remain open to the public and Happy Lobster food truck will be behind the cabin serving some amazing lobster rolls. Get those pre-orders in!

What a fun night at the PADS Oktoberfest Fundraiser! 🍻
We were so happy to be part of an evening supporting such an important cause—helping provide resources, support and a path forward for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in our community.
A huge thank you to everyone who purchased tickets, bid in the auctions, tested their strength in the stein hoisting competition and joined in the fun. It was a great night of community coming together for a great cause.
Prost to everyone who helped make the evening such a success! 🍺
