Since the end of last week was consumed with a decent amount of news about the ongoing legal drama at 5 Rabbit, we wanted to give a little signal boost to a part of the story that we feel like collectively we could pay a little more attention to.<\/p>\n
Both Crain’s<\/a> and Josh Noel at the Tribune<\/a> had updates on Friday regarding the lawsuits and ownership changes going on at the brewery, but at least the Trib gave us some new news about some good-sounding beer.<\/p>\n Namely, this:<\/p>\n This summer, 5 Rabbit plans to release a series of beers it is calling Paletas, named for the frozen pops often sold as street food in Hispanic neighborhoods. Paletas will be a series of draft-only low-alcohol wheat beers that will each feature a different fruit and spice component.<\/p>\n “It will be a matter of how many we can get through between May and September,” Mosher said. “You never know if it will be cucumber-mint or black walnut-raspberry or watermelon with Tasmanian pepper berry.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As a former Albany Park resident who sees the paleta guys wandering around from time to time, it’d be awesome if we could get some of these beers from those guys on a hot day. As that’s terribly illegal, it’ll never happen, but we like the idea. We’ll have to track it down on draft instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[506],"yoast_head":"\n
