Une Année Brewery was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 2013 by Jerry Nelson. An architect and a former Marine, Nelson first fell in love with Belgian and French beers while studying abroad in Versailles, France. After statrting to homebrew, his first offering to friends was “Maya,” named after his daughter, to be celebrated at her first birthday party – hence the name “Une Année,” which means “One Year” in French.

Nelson was later joined in the operation by his brother Dave Nelson and Dave’s wife Jen. In 2015, the company added the “Hubbard’s Cave” line of non-Belgian inspired beers to expand their offerings. That brand takes its name from the tunnel near where the company was born on Hubbard Street. The company moved to a larger brewery in 2017 in neighboring Niles, Illinois, where they were able to add a taproom to their offerings. That taproom was later moved in 2020 to a new location, complete with a barbecue kitchen on site.
