That is the inspiration behind Greg Shuff\u2019s Chicago brewpub operation.<\/p>\n<p>Shuff is the owner and general manager of three bustling local brewpub operations: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryhopchicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DryHop<\/a>, Corridor and the newly-opened Roebuck Pizza which is conveniently located right next door to DryHop in Chicago\u2019s Lakeview neighborhood. Corridor is located a mile away near Wrigley Field. They also plan to open a fourth location, Crushed by Giants, right off Michigan Avenue in spring 2020.<\/p>\n<p>With three bustling brewpubs to-date and another one in-planning, Shuff\u2019s neighborhood brewery bet seems to have paid off.<\/p>\n<h2>Shuff\u2019s Chicago Brewpubs Have Different Identities<\/h2>\n<p>When you talk to Shuff about his Chicago brewpubs, it\u2019s like talking to a proud father. Each of his brewpub children is a vibrant, popular neighborhood spot.<\/p>\n<p>DryHop was the first and focuses on primarily new-American food and popular American hoppy beer styles. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corridorchicago.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corridor<\/a> focuses on pizza and with Belgian-inspired beers. The newest, Roebuck Pizza, also focuses on pizza along with European-style beers that pair perfectly with thin-crust pizza.<\/p>\n<p>Shuff sees each as their own independent operation: \u201cEvery brewpub is one of one.\u201d There is no overarching parent brand.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_106041\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter \"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025102855\/DryHop-Chicago-Brewpub.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-106041 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025102855\/DryHop-Chicago-Brewpub.jpg\" alt=\"dryhop chicago brewpub\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025102855\/DryHop-Chicago-Brewpub.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025102855\/DryHop-Chicago-Brewpub-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chicago&#8217;s DryHop focuses primarily on new-American food and popular American hoppy beer styles.

That\u2019s a purposeful move on Shuff\u2019s part; he wants each of his brewpubs to be a local gathering spot for the neighborhoods they serve. He even selects his new buildings based on convenience inside neighborhoods, even if it means paying a little more for the space.<\/p>\n<h2>Competing Against Restaurants, Not Breweries<\/h2>\n<p>Shuff says that he doesn\u2019t consider his Chicago brewpubs to be competing with area breweries. Instead, he\u2019s competing with neighborhood restaurants and bars. He wants to be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leye.com\/about\/\">Lettuce Entertain You<\/a>&#8211;the popular restaurant group that started in Chicago&#8211;for brewpubs, and the beer is his competitive advantage.

There are five people at the \u201ccorporate\u201d level. The rest of the employees are wholly unique to each location and operate independently from each other. Each brewpub has its own general manager, chef, and head brewer; Shuff gives each the operating autonomy they need to succeed. It also ensures that brewpub has its own flair and distance from each other.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_106043\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter \"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025103109\/GALDOPHOTO-Roebuck-Chicago.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-106043 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025103109\/GALDOPHOTO-Roebuck-Chicago.jpg\" alt=\"roebuck pizza brewpub\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025103109\/GALDOPHOTO-Roebuck-Chicago.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.craftbeer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20191025103109\/GALDOPHOTO-Roebuck-Chicago-768x448.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Roebuck Pizza is located next door to DryHop in Chicago\u2019s Lakeview neighborhood.

No brewpub cannibalizes the sales of the others because beer lovers see each as an individual concept.<\/p>\n<p>The testament to this has been the success DryHop has seen since its sister operation, Roebuck opened up literally next door.
