The 15th Annual Festival of Barrel Aged Beers (FOBAB) is the world’s largest celebration of wood and barrel-aged beers, hosted by the Illinois Craft Brewers Guild. This festival of epic proportions has been known to pour some of the most sought after and prized beers from across the country and this year looks to be no exception. FOBAB will take place over three sessions on Friday, 11/10 and Saturday, 11/11. Saturday morning’s session is sold out, BUT, we have a pair of tickets for that session to giveaway — ay oh!
See the list of Lakeshore Beverage participating breweries below and enter to win a pair of tickets to Saturday morning’s sold out session. Read More

There are parties, and then there are PARTIES. Our event with Alaskan Brewing at Moosejaw last Thursday was the latter. We came, we ate, we drank, we had a frozen t-shirt contest, some of us did pull-ups, and one of you went home with a Yeti cooler thanks to Moosejaw.
A big thanks to Britography for documenting the evening and Cody from Cage & Aquarium for keeping the tunes going all night. Miss the party? Bummer. There will be more. Be sure to sign up for our mailing list to receive an invite to our next Secret Beer Party!

We were thrilled to welcome our newest distribution partner, Sun King Brewery, to Chicago this week. We kicked off a week of launch events at longtime Chicago rock club, Reggies in South Loop. Many games of pop-a-shot were played and just as many beers were consumed in turn. A big thank you to everyone who came out and for the very talented Britography for these amazing photos. If you missed the party, bummer! There will be more. Stay up to date by subscribing to our email newsletter to be in the know about future events and beer releases.
What goes well with boozy cocktails? Well, sometimes, more booze. Beer cocktails are becoming more prevalent than ever and can be pretty damn tasty when done right.
So we rolled up our sleeves, spent some time searching through the internet, and put together these four beer cocktails for you to try. They’re simple, delicious, and maybe you’ll impress someone at your next party.
You certainly won’t look as cool as Tom Cruise, but your friend “who doesn’t drink beer” will really appreciate you trying to include them for once. A big thank you to our New Accounts Manager, Whitney, for whipping these up for us. Read More
