At first, Ryan Czaja didn\u2019t want the head brewer job at Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery. The unique challenges of preserving the former train station\u2019s rich history while operating a modern-day brewery is a big responsibility, and Ryan thought he wasn\u2019t ready.<\/p>\n

But Dean and Carolyn Armstrong, Flossmoor, Illinois, natives who invested in the crumbling station in 1996, thought otherwise.<\/p>\n

Constructed by the Illinois Central Railroad in 1906, the Flossmoor Station was a stop for Chicago residents looking for a getaway from the bustle of urban life. There were exactly six homes in Flossmoor when the station was built, and the railroad bought 160 acres of land there with plans for a golf course for those city-weary travelers. A century later, golf courses and the railway remain, and Flossmoor is one in a vast network of Chicago suburbs. But the station is something else.<\/p>\n

Transforming an Old Train Station into a Brewery<\/h2>\n

The Armstrongs bought the building and transformed it into the Flossmoor Station Restaurant & Brewery<\/a>. Beer names, dishes and the decor all remind visitors of the station\u2019s storied past, but it is clear that the building has carved out a new route.<\/p>\n

Today, the station\u2019s history may bring a few people in the door, but it’s the beer \u2014 which has won nearly 80 brewing medals \u2014 and the highly regarded food that turned it into a modern-day success. And Ryan is hard at work keeping the track record.<\/p>\n

After homebrewing for some time, Ryan attended the famed Siebel Institute in Chicago and spent two years as an assistant brewer at Flossmoor Station. When the head brewer left in 2016, the Armstrongs offered Ryan the job.<\/p>\n

He said no.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t want it. I didn\u2019t think I was nearly ready for that,\u201d Ryan says.<\/p>\n

But after several interviews with outsiders, and some prodding, the Armstrongs persuaded Ryan to take the job, which he started in April 2016. The brewery has remained on track, in fact, it\u2019s full-steam ahead.<\/p>\n

Brewing Beer in a Tight Space<\/h2>\n

Themed restaurants are not often known for serving quality dishes, and Flossmoor certainly doesn\u2019t shy away from its train motif \u2014 the beers have names like Zephyr Golden Lager, Pullman Brown Ale and Rail Hopper IPA. Nevertheless, one only needs to order from its Carving Board Charcuterie & Cheese menu that includes such items as Barber Cheddar English Vintage, a firm textured cheese with fruit and nut undertones, to know it\u2019s not just a gimmick. And the plaques and medals hanging throughout the bar area serve as proof of its brewing prowess.<\/p>\n

For Ryan, it can be a challenge working in a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The station wasn\u2019t exactly intended to house fermentors or store barrels.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, it\u2019s pretty tight in here \u2026 but I think most brewers would love more space. I can\u2019t complain,\u201d Ryan laughs.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s Mantra: Never Settle<\/h2>\n

While Flossmoor Station originally catered to Chicago\u2019s elite, as a brewery, it draws a more diverse crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe definitely have our beer geek crowd. Saturdays during the summer are big for that. And we have people that come in for the history, but we also have a lot of regulars. Or, some just come here for a meal,\u201d Ryan says. \u201cThe big thing I do is brew things I like to drink, which is something I think any good brewer does, but I also listen to what people have to say. Sometimes I\u2019ll sit at the bar, and I won\u2019t say who I am so that I can hear people\u2019s reactions. I think you have to know what people love and maybe what they don\u2019t really like.\u201d<\/p>\n

An eclectic menu best defines the beer selection at Flossmoor. There\u2019s the rainbow of drinks: brown, black, red, golden lagers and ales, barleywines and easy-drinking sippers. You name it, Flossmoor makes it. Like any brewer though, fidgeting with recipes and creating something new, like a seasonal or special release, gets Ryan\u2019s engine running.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to do more bottle releases,\u201d he says. \u201cI won\u2019t do them unless I feel the beer is bottle-worthy. I have a version of an imperial stout<\/a> I want to do and put in barrels. Maybe something like that.”<\/p>\n

Bottle worthiness is no easy achievement at Flossmoor Station, and Ryan is his own worst critic. While a red ale elicited a smile and an \u201cahhh,\u201d from this writer, Ryan says, “Eh, it could be better.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also told a story about a double IPA that customers loved. Ryan, though, says with a smile, \u201cIt wasn\u2019t my favorite. I like it. It wasn’t my style, I guess. But, people did love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe he’s a perfectionist. Maybe he looks at the multitude of awards hanging on the walls and feels pressure. Whatever the reason, it doesn’t seem to phase Ryan. He just loves beer. It just so happens he wants to make great beer.<\/p>\n

That dedication to making great beer and food has kept Flossmoor Station — and its history — chugging along. Whether it\u2019s offering a weekend getaway or pouring award-winning beers, perhaps Flossmoor Station will keep serving the community for another century.<\/p>\n
