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.
We partnered with the cigar experts over at Famous Smoke to put together a few craft beer and cigar pairing suggestions.
Kim Leshinski, founder of Hail To The Ale is a graphic designer, beer judge, homebrewer, event planner, and beer blogger… and somehow, we’ve convinced her to spend some time with us each month to develop a blog series about an often overlooked part of the craft beer experience: glassware. Over the next few month’s she’ll dive into the history, design and style of glassware and teach us all something new about our beer glasses.
Last week, we invited 300 of our closest friends to Lakeshore Beverage Beer HQ to celebrate the Chicago launch of SweetWater Brewing co. Check out the photos below and then sign up for our newsletter for invitations to future parties!
To celebrate the release of Brewery Ommegang’s Three-Eyed Raven Dark Saison, we joined 150 Game of Thrones fans for a cosplay bar crawl throughout the city. Crawl Beyond the Wall kicked off at AlleyCat Comics in Ravenswood. From there, guests were assigned one of four houses — Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, and The Night’s Watch — and spent the evening hopping from bar to bar and enjoying Brewery Ommegang Witte, Gnomegang, Valar Moghulis and the brand new Three-Eyed Raven. There was a costume contest hosted by the one-and-only Geek Girl Chicago, a raffle, a plethora of tasty bites and even a battle cry or two (see: #StarkLife).
