A Guy Walks Into 365 Bars…Again! Bar Number 87: Industry Brewing

by MBIP


Industry Brewing opened up its doors for business back in 2017. And I thought that tonight we’d walk through those very same doors in 2026 as we enter our 87th bar of this tour!

And so it’s off we go!

Bar Number 87: Industry Brewing, Monday, April 6, 2026

Here we are at Industry Brewing out in Pioneer Park.

However, you don’t go in the front here…

The entrance is over here on the side of the building. Let’s go in and start our 87th evening of visiting bars.

There’s the host station where you wait to be seated, but since we’re not sitting at a table, we’ll just walk around the corner to…

The bar!

We’ll snag one of those empy seats and get settled in for the evening.

Diana was the lovely and friendly bartender on duty this evening and here she is serving me up one of their in-house brewed draft beers.

We’re moving along in a spectacular fashion here tonight!

Here’s two shots of the back of the well-stocked bar.

There’s the list of draft beers available tonight and the taps below the menu.

I got the Split Shift draft and it was delicious!

Gary was seated next to me and he said he recognized me from watching me being interviewed by Christine Zak on WTVP! Very cool!

We had a nice conversation about Peoria, bars and other topics. Wonderful to meet and chat with him!

There’s a dining area directly behind the bar. They have a full menu for lunch and dinner here at Industry Brewing.

The Beer Garden outside isn’t open yet, but I’m guessing in a couple weeks it’ll be up and running.

Here’s a shot from the back of the dining room.

The in-house brewery is located over here on the side of the room and it’s very impressive!

Meanwhile, back at the bar, I got another Split Shift beer. Cheers!
