Illini Grotto, chartered in 2023 and based in Mahomet, Illinois, brings together master masons from across the state and beyond to promote fellowship and Illini spirit.

The Grotto supports The Grottoes Humanitarian Fund, a 501 (C) (3) organization that provides dental care to children with special needs through its “Special Smiles” program.

On April 17-18, 2026, Illini Grotto will host the Illinois State Grotto Association Conference in Champaign. This beer commemorates the event, with a portion of the proceeds donated to The Humanitarian Fund.
