the Chicagoland area with special releases sprinkled in for flavor. Our full
service restaurant and brewery features American heartland cuisine, and
our 15 BBL copper clad brewhouse keeps a full range of beer styles from
and around the world flowing. Come check out our recent expansion to

outdoor beer deck with a tour! With up to 12 beers on tap, growlers and
bottles are definitely available for take out and we strongly encourage
sharing with friends on a regular basis. Check out our most up to date

who have made Flossmoor Station their “go-to” place for beer. Cheers!
All of our beers will be rotating through the day, once a brand
is kicked, a new one will take its place, so keep checking back
with us through the day, something new will always pop up!
Intercontinental Pale Lager: 6.5% abv, 65 IBU. Our spin on the craze of hops.
Same premise as an IPA, but with a lager yeast and a focus on noble hops to create a
unique aroma and flavor profile full of floral notes, similar to lyilac.
Red Rye: 6.7% abv, 60 IBU. A dark mahogany, malty, hoppy bomb. This citrus hop
forward ale has a lot a great, rich dark malt flavors with a healthy percentage of
Rye malt to spice the malty backbone and is of course balanced with an intense hop
bitterness
Pullman Brown Ale: 6.5% abv, 20 IBU. One of the main staples at Flossmoor, this
heavily accoladed brown porter is rich with chocolate flavors and a touch of sweet
molasses and makes for a wonderfully drinkable dark ale.
Noble Belgian Ale: 6.1% abv, 20 IBU. This is a fun take on Belgian Pale Ales; lightly
bittered yet heavily hopped with noble hop varietals. The delicate spicy and fruity
aromas and flavors of the belgian yeast strain balance well with the floral notes of
the hops to create a great, refreshing ale
Strongly Golden Belgian: 6.7% abv, 17 IBU. A simple, yet complex Belgian
Golden Strong Ale, with a soft malty body and finishes crisp and dry. A wonderful
boquet of spices and fruit hit your nose and tingle your tongue.
Brown is the New Black: 9.5% abv, 30 IBU. An Imperial Schwartz Bier aged in
bourbon barrels for 6 months. This subtly roasty lager is layered with chocolate,
vanilla, oak and bourbon flavors and aromas to create a deeply complex beer
Finlaggin Scotch Ale: 7.5% abv, 25 IBU. A dry, slightly smoky scotch ale aged in
bourbon barrels for 9 months. This ale is intended to reflect upon the great scotch
whiskeys; with notes of peat, bourbon (of course), vanilla, oak and a drying finish.
15th Anniversary: 15% abv, 45 IBU. Our 15th Anniversary Belgian Strong, aged in
a used mead barrel, which was a used bourbon barrel, for over a year. An intensely
complex melange of fruit, spices, oak, honey, a touch of bourbon. Cheers!
