That would be a safe bet. "The city has offered assistance to MillerCoors in the form of tax-increment financing. The exact amount hasn't been determined, but Rita Athas, executive director of World Business Chicago, the city's economic development office, said it would likely be $2.5 million to $5 million."

The move may not include a brewery, but I'd bet it does include a dumptruck full of TIF money.
