Turner Haus Brewery co-owners Steven Turner, Blair Turner-Aikens and Nathaniel Aikens have officially put down roots in Bronzeville.
They will be opening Turner Haus Chicago in collaboration with local coffee shop chain Sip & Savor’s space (78 E. 47th St.) in the historic Rosenwald Court Apartments on the 4600 block of South Michigan Avenue by the end of the summer.
The collaboration makes Turner Haus Chicago’s first Black-owned brewery since Vice District Brewery shut down in 2019.
“We’re working on the specs now,” said Turner on Friday. He says the brewery’s beers, named after family matriarchs “Helen,” “Lola” and “Marlene,” among others, will be served on-tap. “Honestly, for the most part, it’s going to look exactly the same as it already does as far as the build out is concerned; the only difference is we’re just going to take over an area of [Sip & Savor’s] storage area.
