May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month – bringing awareness to Celiac Disease, and the two million people in the United States that live with this condition. This means their body cannot process gluten products and it causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, headaches, and more. There’s a good amount of people who live with Celiac Disease, and they don’t even realize it.
Because of this, people with Celiac Disease have to be wary of what they eat and drink. Normally beers are crafted with gluten, so it’s immediately a no-go for people with Celiac Disease, but there’s options for everyone to enjoy. So, don’t feel bummed out if you’re at a get-together and reach for these gluten free options!
Hard Seltzers – Hard seltzers are simply made. Seltzer water, alcohol, and natural fruits and flavors. They are a delicious go-to for someone living with Celiac Disease. In addition, they’re extremely versatile and can be enjoyed at parties, black tie events, tailgates, and on the back porch. We recommend trying out a Nutrl Seltzer. They’re made with just seltzer, water, and juice. That’s all. You can enjoy one without worrying about any nasties hiding inside.
Hard Ciders – Another option falls with the hard cider. These beverages are crafted from apple juice, so once again, there’s no gluten involved at all. Although ciders are seen as a cold weather treat, this author enjoys a good hard cider year round. We recommend Eris’ Pedestrian Cider, and Blake’s American Apple. They’re both good forward drinking ciders and good starting points to explore the wide world of hard ciders.
Gluten Removed/Reduced Beers – So what if you want an actual beer? No worries. There’s advancements in technology that removes gluten from the beer during the brewing process so you can enjoy a beer with your friends at any time. We recommend opening up a can of Stone Delicious IPA, or Omission Ultimate Golden Ale. Both are easily drinkable and perfect everyday beers for someone with a gluten intolerance.
So next time you’re at a party or a bar, just know you’re not relegated to a soda or water, and you can seek out these options to enjoy a drink or two with your friends without the risk of an adverse gluten reaction.
We did it, we made it through yet another Chicago winter. Temperatures are slowly (but surely) rising and the sun doesn’t set at 5pm anymore. Spring is right around the corner – and that means more outdoor activities like hanging out at patios with friends and just enjoying the nice(r) weather.
And of course your friends here at Lakeshore Beverage are here to make sure you spend the spring months with the best beverages in the world. No matter if you drink beer, seltzers, cocktails, or something else. Keep reading to find out who’s on this murderer’s row of hot spring beverages!

So – what are your goals for the year? A healthy lifestyle includes enjoying yourself, so you shouldn’t have to compromise taste and quality as part of your resolutions. Here’s a guided breakdown of resolutions and some products to help you along with your goals!
Did you know that May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month? Celiac Disease may or may not sound familiar to you but it is something that is more than likely to affect someone that you know like a friend or loved one. According to John Hopkins Medicine, more than 2 million people in the United States have celiac disease and not all of them even know they have it. Symptoms of a gluten intolerance include abdominal pain, diarrhea, headaches and more.
Beer is made of gluten, so someone with an intolerance won’t be able to enjoy a round with friends at the bar. But not all is lost, there are some beers (and non beers) that are gluten reduced, or even free options you can enjoy whether taking a pack home or enjoying a pint at the bar. Here are six options you can drink for a pleasant gluten free (or reduced) experience.
