Half Acre is a Chicago-based craft brewery that offers a range from classic styles to experimental releases. Founded in 2007 by Gabriel Magliaro, it began as a 15-barrel brewhouse on Lincoln Avenue and later relocated to a larger facility on Balmoral that features a taproom, a beer garden, and a direct-to-consumer store. Its portfolio includes the Daisy Cutter Pale Ale as well as mixed-fermentation beers and beers aged in spirit barrels. In 2019, Craft Beer & Brewing ranked Half Acre tenth among the United States' best medium-sized breweries. In 2026, Half Acre merged with Maplewood Brewery & Distillery to form a new beverage company.
