During pre-Prohibition days tied houses were the original brewpubs. They were taverns that sold only the brand of beer that they were "tied" to. One of the more famous in Chicago is Schuba’s on the corner of Southport and Belmont. The City Council is slated to introduce landmark status for eight Schlitz tied houses this week.
