Pilot Project Brewing, opened in August 2019 by co-founders Dan Abel and Jordan Radke, bills itself as the country's first dedicated brewery incubator — a Logan Square tasting room, café, and kitchen that gives startup and minority-owned breweries a launch pad for production and distribution. Its non-alcoholic credentials are unusually deep for a brewery: Pilot Project is the U.S. brewing and distribution partner for Mash Gang, the London NA-beer brand founded by Jordan Childs and James Loveday in 2020. Pilot Project brews Mash Gang's lineup stateside and pours it on tap here, including Journey Juice (a Tajín-spiked mango IPA at 0.5% ABV) and Stoop Lite (a light, chili-and-Szechuan-tinged lager). The rotating Mash Gang range also features Chug (hazy IPA), Glug (cerveza), and the seasonal Lesser Evil (chocolate-cherry stout). Local coffee and tea round out the zero-proof options.
