- We're gonna start the night
with how every
night should start,
a pint in your hand.
These are the nominees for
Chicago's Best Brewery.
- Kind of the secret
dish that everybody
needs to order on here is
our Nashville hot chicken.
- Gonna make the Chi-Town today.
- It goes great with
beer, A plus in my book.
- I love our duck poutine.
- The shrimp tacos,
reel big shrimp.
- Baja sauce they have
on there is phenomenal.
- Definitely the brisket,
'cause that takes
about 13 and a
half hours to cook.
So, plenty of time to drink.
- And, the first award goes to,
can I get a quick
drum roll guys?
(drum pounding)
Smylie Brothers Brewing.
- All right.
Amazing brisket,
even better beer.
Perfect combo.
- Cheers to you Smylie Brothers.
- Cheers to you.
(phone ringing)
- Thanks for calling Smylie
Brothers, this is Mike.
Can I help you?
- I'm hiding outside
Smylie Brothers
because my team's inside.
They've told them
they're filming something
for social media,
when in reality
they're about to win
an award from me.
Let's go surprise 'em.

- How do you feel right now?
- I feel pretty terrific.
This was a setup.
- This was, this is what
we call a setup, indeed.
- Hey, look at that.
- It wouldn't be right
to be in a brewery
that does barbecue to
not go and toast now
with some briskets
and beer, right?
- Yeah, I think so.
- Okay.
- Let's get to it.
- And, that's why I
chose to come to Smylie.
