Time to crack open a cold one at the BEST place to have some brews.

I'm not much of a drinker, but if I do order something while out it's most likely a beer. Are you a beer lover? There's just nothing better than a cold beverage on a hot summer day. So where are the best beer spots in Illinois and Wisconsin? Well, a new survey just broke it down by state and you officially have new beer plans.

So let's start with Illinois. Where is the best beer spot?

MSN details -

Half Acre Beer Company has two brewery spaces in Chicago, each of which has a taproom and a kitchen tailored to the particular neighborhood. If you're looking for an outdoor beer garden, be sure to go to the Balmoral location. Half Acre offers year-round beers in addition to seasonal and one-off brews.

 

Next time you're in the city and craving a cold one, don't forget about this spot. Now, let's move North. What is the best beer spot in Wisconsin?

First things first - this place has cheese curds. Just had to put that out there.

But the fun doesn't stop there. According to MSN -

Lakefront also offers a wide variety of ales and lagers, such as the Riverwest Stein and the seasonal favorite Wisconsite.

It sounds like a blast.
