I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
Have you put together your Illinois summer bucket list yet? Well, we have a possible addition for you! There is one beer garden in Illinois that is definitely worthy of your bucket list. At Riggs Beer Company, you can enjoy a refreshing craft brew and the warmth and sunshine out in the German-style beer garden.
Riggs Beer Company is a family-owned brewery, taproom, and beer garden located in Urbana. It produces a variety of both American and German-style beers onsite.
The taproom, which seats up to 95 guests, is always an excellent part of the brewery to hang out. And it's where you can watch the production process. Here you will also find a self-service bar with beer.
The outdoor German-style beer garden is an alternative to sitting indoors in the taproom. It can accommodate over 200 guests who can enjoy the warmth and sunshine outside.
The beer garden is also quite family-friendly, so go ahead and bring the kids! There's a playground out there as well as lawn games to enjoy. And if you have a well-behaved dog, go ahead and bring him along, too.
If you get hungry, the brewery works with several local food trucks. You can either bring your own food or purchase food from a food truck parked outside the building.
Sip on a Hefeweizen, American Lager, Red Lager, IPL, or a seasonal brew while enjoying the great outdoors at Riggs Beer Company. It's worthy of a spot on your summertime bucket list!
