More Brewing to join Huntley restaurant scene

A new restaurant and brewery is being built in the site of a former auto dealership in Huntley, provding craft beer enthusiasts with another place to kick back and enjoy a cold beer and some tasty food.

More Brewing Co. Inc. will operate a production brewery, restaurant and taproom at the former Chevrolet dealership at 13980 Automall Drive, in Huntley, and is expected to open for business by the end of the year

This is the second location for More, a Villa Park-based craft brewery. More Brewing is converting about 14,000 square feet of the 25,302-square-foot dealership into a brewpub restaurant, which would have a full kitchen and would be open for lunch and dinner six to seven days a week.

The other 11,000 square feet of the building would be used for production, including a brewhouse, fermentation and conditioning vessels, a packaging line and a barrel room, where beer will be aged in whiskey barrels. Plans also call for outdoor patios and a special events area.
