The beer experts at Lakeshore Beverage love beer pairing. We pair our beer with food, cheeses — even music and movies. We view beer as an experience that can be elevated when combined with other experiences. It’s this passion that led us to explore an often-overlooked pairing: beer and cigars.

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been waiting for Chicago’s Restaurant Week with bated breath.

Amazing.
