Located on a 1.5-acre hop farm complete with greenhouse and mini-orchard in North Aurora, Hardware is a self-sustaining taproom that focuses on environmentally conscious brewing and distilling, offering beers that you'll feel good drinking, plus organic wines and 350 whiskeys. It cooks up refined small plates on-site, too, which range from charcuterie to a Wagyu hanger steak. They're served inside Hardware's contemporary, wood-laden dining room and on its open-air patio with twinkle lights.
