Turner Haus Brewery turns a brewery's usual marketing instinct inside out: instead of naming beers for hops or brewing techniques, every recipe here honors a specific woman in co-founders Steven Turner and Blair Turner-Aikens' families.

A beer lineup entirely named for family matriarchs, under the motto 'They poured into us, now we pour pints of them'

There's a Helen and a Hazel for two grandmothers, a Lola for an aunt, a Marlene for a cousin — a lineup built, in the founders' own words, under the motto 'They poured into us, now we pour pints of them.' The Black-owned, family-run brewery launched in 2019 and spent years perfecting recipes before opening a flagship taproom on Nov. 30, 2023, specifically choosing to share space with Sip & Savor Coffeehouse's location inside the landmarked Rosenwald Court Apartments at 78 E. 47th Street — a deliberate choice to root the brewery in the South Side neighborhood where its founders live, rather than opening somewhere more conventionally brewery-friendly. The format itself is unusual: coffee shop by day, taproom by night, the same room serving two completely different crowds depending on the hour.

It's the kind of business built as much around family memory and neighborhood investment as around the beer itself. As of late 2025, reporting indicates the space has shifted from a standing public taproom toward event-driven use — community gatherings and private bookings rather than regular walk-in hours — so check directly before planning a casual visit; it remains a meaningful, still-operating piece of Bronzeville's brewing and family history either way.
