Now Pouring: Pilot Project Brewing Opens at CHC Wrigleyville

Something exciting is brewing in Wrigleyville — and this time, it’s happening inside the hotel.

Beginning July 1st, 2025, Pilot Project Brewing officially opens its newest location at The Chicago Hotel Collection Wrigleyville. Just steps from Wrigley Field and the neighborhood’s endless entertainment, this new onsite tenant brings one of Chicago’s most innovative craft beer experiences directly to our guests and the local community.

And the best part? Starting opening day, all hotel guests will receive 3 complimentary craft beers or drinks at Pilot Project Brewing — exclusively included in our Guest Benefits Package ($79.95/night).

About Pilot Project Brewing: Where New Ideas Go On Tap

Founded in Chicago, Pilot Project isn’t your typical brewery. It’s a collaborative incubator for up-and-coming brewers, offering small creators the tools, space, and platform to launch their craft beer visions into reality.

Inspired by the music industry, Pilot Project operates more like a record label than a traditional taproom — helping talent with everything from recipe development and scaling production to branding and distribution. The result? A constantly rotating selection of inventive, small-batch beers that highlight the diversity and creativity of the craft brewing world.

By launching its new Wrigleyville location inside CHC, Pilot Project brings its signature lineup of experimental brews, local collabs, and bold flavors to the heart of one of Chicago’s most iconic neighborhoods.

An Exclusive Perk for Hotel Guests 🍻

Every stay at The Chicago Hotel Collection Wrigleyville now includes three complimentary craft drinks at Pilot Project Brewing, thanks to the updated Guest Benefits Package.

This benefit is exclusive to CHC Wrigleyville and is stacked on top of the existing Chicago-wide perks that come with the GBP, including:

• Access to exclusive discounts on top attractions like Navy Pier, 360 CHICAGO, museums, and architecture tours

• Seasonal perks and rotating local experiences curated for guests

Now, Wrigleyville guests can enjoy all these benefits plus 3 drinks at Chicago’s most forward-thinking brewery — without ever leaving the building.

Inside the Space: Elevated, Relaxed, and Wrigleyville-Ready

The new Pilot Project taproom at CHC Wrigleyville blends neighborhood charm with polished design — a space that works whether you’re meeting friends before a game or grabbing a drink after a long day of exploring the city.

Expect a modern taproom layout, approachable staff, and an ever-changing list of brews that range from light, refreshing pours to bold, hop-forward standouts. Indoor and patio seating gives you options, and there’s always something new to try.

Whether you’re a beer enthusiast or just here for a good time, it’s the kind of space that invites you to stay a little longer.

Why It Matters: Supporting Creators, Elevating the Guest Experience

This partnership is more than just a great amenity — it’s part of our commitment to supporting local creators and giving our guests access to experiences they won’t find at a chain hotel.

Pilot Project’s mission aligns with ours: break the mold, give people something memorable, and celebrate what makes Chicago special. From beer incubators to independent food partners and rotating local perks, The Chicago Hotel Collection Wrigleyville continues to offer more than just a place to sleep — it’s a gateway to the best of the city.
