The brothers brought their knowledge of different brewing styles to the Chicago craft brew market after living in Europe and experiencing the variety of beers available there. Jim and Jason started the business using bulk milk tanks converted into fermenters that were donated to them by their grandfather who was a retired dairy farmer. Two Brothers Brewing has now been in business for over 20 years and has opened multiple locations throughout the Chicago metropolitan area, as well as one in Arizona.[2][3][4]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistoryTwo Brothers Tap HouseTwo Brothers RoundhouseTwo Brothers Tap House and BreweryThe Craftsman By Two BrothersTwo Brothers Social TapBeersSustainability effortsAwards and acknowledgmentsDistributionFestivalsSee alsoReferencesHistory         (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Brewing equipment at Two Brothers Brewing Warrenville location.Two Brothers Tap HouseThe Ebel brothers started in business with their home brewing supply mail order business and retail store in Naperville, Illinois.[5]Two Brothers Brewing opened first in Warrenville, Illinois in the year 1996 when Jim and Jason Ebel returned to the United States after living in France. When they arrived back home they had difficulty finding the style of beers that were common in Europe. This encouraged the Ebel brothers to enter the brewing industry in order to bring the European-style brews to the Chicago market. Using their prior experience working in a brewery located in Denver, they went into production using bulk milk tanks that were donated to them from their grandfather. Two Brothers Tap House remains in Warrenville, Illinois where they offer tours of their newly equipped brewery to the public every weekend.[2][3][4][6]Two Brothers RoundhouseAfter establishing themselves in the industry Jim and Jason Ebel set their eyes on expansion. In May 2011 they announced that they had purchased America’s Historic Roundhouse in Aurora, Illinois after the former owner filed for bankruptcy. Their intentions were to keep the Roundhouse a restaurant and venue but also planned to include weddings and banquet events. The Roundhouse was built in 1865 for the Chicago and Aurora Railroad. After being abandoned in 1974 it was then purchased by a group of investors led by Walter Payton in 1995 and converted into a restaurant and brewpub. The Roundhouse officially reopened in June 2011 as the Two Brothers Roundhouse.[7][8]Two Brothers Tap House and BreweryTwo Brothers Brewing owners Jim and Jason Ebel then decided to open their first location outside of the state of Illinois in Scottsdale, Arizona. Two Brothers Tap House and Brewery opened its doors to the Arizona market in January 2015. Initially serving as a restaurant for its first 6 months, the Arizona location served its first beer brewed within its Scottsdale brewery in October 2015.[9][10]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The Craftsman By Two BrothersIn September 2016 Two Brothers opened The Craftsman in Naperville, Illinois.
