## About

Burnt City was originally founded in 2012 as the Atlas Brewing Co. with a brewpub located in Lincoln Park, Chicago. The company re-branded in May 2016.
While operating a production facility on the south side of Chicago along with the brewpub, Burnt City continued to produce quality beer aimed at reaching an ever widening craft beer population.
In April of 2019, the location was moved to District Brew Yards in West Town, where it remains today in a space with 3 other breweries and a “pour your own” beer system.
