Earlier this week Lagunitas Brewing owner Tony Magee used his Twitter feed to give followers some updates on the buildout of his company's Douglas Park brewhouse. Here are some photos from his feed, with links to the pertinent tweets, showing some of the equipment bound for Chicago via Germany.

Lagunitas' taproom is expected to open next month. When the brewhouse is completed, Lagunitas will have the capacity to brew up to 1.7 million barrels of beer annually when they start mashing in later this year, making it far and away the largest brewery in Chicago once they open.
