Title: The Exquisite Craftsmanship at the Opera House Brewing Company: A Premier Brewery in Hillsboro, Illinois

Introduction: A Toast to Quality and Tradition



The Opera House Brewing Company proudly wears the badge of being a prime brewery based in the heart of the charming city of Hillsboro, Illinois. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, we marry tradition with innovation, creating high-quality beers that pay homage to brewing heritage while envisioning the future of craft beer.

The History: Living Legacy



Each batch we produce is an intricate tapestry of our story, a legacy unfolding since 1874, when the Hillsboro Opera House was built. Purchased by us in 2014, we reimagined the iconic structure into the Opera House Brewing Company, keeping its historical integrity alive while giving it a new purpose. Today, we stand as a testament to our town's rich heritage, with our walls emitting an aura of stories from eras bygone in between the echoes of brewery activities.

The beers: Craftsmanship, Authenticity, and Artistry



We believe that great beer is the result of a generous blend of one-third craftsmanship, one-third authenticity, and one-third artistry. This philosophy permeates our eclectic mix of beer styles, ranging from a stable Pale Ale to an alluring Stout, from an invigorating IPA to a substantial Amber Ale. Our commitment to innovation is reflected in the constant rotation of limited-edition seasonals ensuring there is always something novel to intrigue the palate.

Ingredients: Conscious Choices for Outstanding Flavor



We make conscious choices for our brews, sourcing local organically grown barley, wheat, and hops. The grain bill, combined with the region's pure water and proprietary yeast, gives each glass of Opera House beer its distinct flavor identity. These are brews that contain the quintessence of our environment - beers that let you taste Hillsboro in every sip.

Brewery Tours: A Journey Through the Craft

Our brewery tours let you experience the symphony of brewing, where you can look, feel, and smell the ingredients that go into our beers.

The Brewpub: A Melting Pot of Experience



Our brewpub is more than just a place that serves beer; it's a melting pot where beer enthusiasts can savor our brews alongside delicious pairings of locally sourced food. Ensuring an experience that doesn’t stop at the stein, our taps are complemented by live music performances, beer tasting events, and locally influenced art exhibitions.

Concluding Gulp: Brewed with Heart, Served with Pride



At the Opera House Brewing Company, each beer is brewed with heart, served with pride, and helps you embrace the rich, immersive culture of craft beer.
