‘Much more than a glass of beer’: Turner Häus turning the tide for Chicago’s Black brewers

A beer flight at Turner Häus Brewery, 78 E. 47th St., Chicago, on Feb. 2, 2024. The beers are Helen, from left, Marlene, Lola and Queens Legacy. For cousins and craft brewers Steve Turner and Blair Turner-Aikens of Turner Häus Brewery, beer’s four simple ingredients are a blank slate to create with a wide world of flavor.

It seemed fated to continue to name brews after departed family matriarchs — “they poured into us, now we pour pints of them,” a brand slogan reads. At Turner Häus, you’ll meet Marlene, a blood orange tripel; Eliza, a cherry oak-aged saison; Lola, a peanut butter, basil and jalapeño brew; and Queen’s Legacy, a Caribbean-style stout; all joining Helen in a beer pantheon. Look above you, and see their faces gazing down from portraits on the wall.

The more he talked to me, the more he started to let me know what he was trying to do, I could see his passion for it,” Pugh said, adding that Turner Häus aligned with his vision of creating a positive space for the community and providing jobs.
