Established in 2016, Skeleton Key Brewery is a family-owned and -operated microbrewery and taproom located in Woodridge, IL. We believe that craft beer is at its best when it blends a variety of palates and perspectives, and we aim to foster an inclusive environment in which individual differences are recognized, appreciated and respected. 

​

Our 8,500 sq ft facility houses a 15bbl steam-fired brewhouse and three taproom seating areas with two separate bars. In addition to beer, we are passionate about education, community, live music, and bad movies. 
 

About Us

one key, many doors

A skeleton key can open a whole bunch of different doors, and that's what we aspire to do. Through our taproom door, you'll enter a world of flavors and aromas at once familiar and excitingly new. See what we've got on tap today -- and what to take with when you head home!

The wall features acoustic-absorbing wood paneling and a mosaic of reclaimed doors painted in shades of coral, brown, and beige, some of which have preserved moss appearing to grow out of the openings.

ON BLACK WEDNESDAYS, WE WEAR BLACK

It's that unofficial holiday where we gather with friends to raise a pint before we gather with family the next day to feast. Join us for Black Wednesday, where we'll have specialty beers on tap and awesome live music by Echo and Ransom, featuring Colleen Wild of Black and Blue Hearts fame. Grumpy Gaucho will have their truck in the lot so you can fill your belly with flaky empanadas!

black friday sale: 50% off mug club memberships

Though the Skullmuggery Society is open to new members year-round, the best time to sign up is between Black Friday and the end of the year, when memberships are 50% off! A membership makes a great gift for yourself or someone equally as awesome :) It's more than a mug club (you do get a mug to keep, though!) -- it's a sippin', socializin', and doin' stuff experience!​

take a break

On select Tuesdays, Skeleton Key transforms into a quiet oasis where you can escape life's hustle-and-bustle and take a personal time-out. Relax in relative silence with a beer and a novel, coloring book, crochet, work project, or whatever brings you peace.
