About Us
Ike & Oak Brewing Co. is an independently owned local craft brewery featuring handmade artisan pizza. We pride ourselves on bringing together friends, families, and neighbors to share our passion for crafting the highest quality beer and food to create a stronger community.
Head brewer, Nathan Tertell, has been brewing professionally for ten years. Starting his career in 2011 at Two Brothers Brewing Company, he then joined Lagunitas Brewing Company in 2013 as one of the first six brewers at their Chicago location. In October 2015, he accepted the Brewmaster position at Baderbräu Brewing Company. Nathan is now thrilled to be the head brewer at Ike & Oak - the brewery has a 10 BBL brewing system, so he will be able to brew much smaller batches allowing for more creativity and flexibility than at his previous organizations.
