This week's Featured
Brewery is Five Rabbit Brewery from Chicago.
Under two years old,
Five Rabbit is a newcomer in Chicago’s craft brew scene. Founded by Andres
Araya and Randy Mosher, 5 Rabbit has set out to celebrate the rich tapestry of
Latin American culture and cuisine. But despite their inspiration, all the 5
Rabbit beers have a 21st century point of view.
5 Rabbit
An elegant take on a
classic golden beer. A base of high-quality malt contributes caramel and
honeyed notes, and these are balanced by a brisk, clean bitterness.
12 oz Bottle -
$6
Missionario
Wheat beer fermented
with Muscat grape must and almonds. This beer will pair well with our crab cake
or a lighter fish like the Whitefish.
12 oz Bottle—$6
Five Lizzard
Deep amber-colored ale
with complex caramel with a long dry and spicy finish. A small amount of
roasted ancho chile is used to complement the toasty malt aroma, adding a
fruity-toasty depth without heat or strong chile flavor.
12 oz Bottle—$6
October 22 will be Lakefront brew – founded in 1987 by
brothers Russ and Jim Klisch grandsons of a former Schlitz brewery truck driver
their little operation has grown into one of the mainstays of Midwest Brewing.

Gear is a big, bold
American red ale. A brilliant floral-citrus aroma, thanks to an aggressive dry
hopping, caramel flavors balance the citrus bite that comes from Chinook and
Cascade hops.
25th Anniversary Imperial Stout - a rich imperial stout with cocoa
nibs, vanilla beans, and cherry purée. A strong chocolate aroma arises,
followed by sweet malt and mild tart cherry. The full, dense mouthfeel yields a
malty sweetness followed by chocolate, cherry, and vanilla flavors, then
finishes with a slight alcohol warmth, leaving roasted malt and chocolate notes
until the next sip. -
