Spring’s Most Wanted

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!

The Usual Suspects

• Spiteful Bleacher Bum
  • You know what screams spring? Baseball, of course. After the big game ends, baseball is right around the corner. That means watching the game from the bleachers, cracking open a beer with friends, and possibly landing a home run or foul ball. Spiteful Brewing’s Bleacher Bum is a perfect representation of the baseball months – a blonde ale made with peaches. Pick one up next time you’re watching a northside or southside game, and make it peachy.
• Founders All Day Lemon Shandy
  • When life gave them lemons, the folks at Founders make All Day Lemon Shandy! The newest addition to their famous All Day family, Lemon Shandy is zesty, sweet, and perfect for springtime adventures with you and your friends.
• Hopewell Outside Voice
  • We’re going to be spending more time outside, so Hopewell wants you to remember how to use your “Outside Voice”. A session IPA meant for warm, sunny days, “Outside Voice” can be enjoyed either inside or outside. Just be mindful of your neighbors, okay?
• Haymarket Relief Peacher
  • What happens when you combine an American IPA with baseball and peaches? You get Relief Peacher! Hops and peaches combine to make a perfectly peachy IPA. Pick a pack up for your next beer league game.
• Goose Island Summertime
  • It may be springtime, but Summertime is just around the corner! Goose Summertime is a fan favorite German-style Kolsch that’s perfect for any and all outdoor get togethers. Coming soon to your favorite tavern or grab a 6pk from your local store to enjoy at home!

Strawbarberella combines strawberries and rhubarbs, making a dessert of hard cider. It’s only available during the warmer months so be sure to pick up a pack before it’s gone.
