5 Rabbit: The Beers
What is found in the tap house and out for distributing does differ, but they have core cervesas.
5 Lizard- Witbier style, with citrus and passionfruit. It differs from the normal wheats of it’s kind. With a little bit of spice, the exotic flavor pulls through, making a heavenly pairing. 4.3% ABV
Ironica IPA- Part of the Gringolandia series. Modern IPA with Citra, Azacca, and Amarillo dry hops. A more American approach made with a bit of extra love. 6.66% ABV
5 Vulture-Oaxacan-Style Dark Ale brewed with piloncillo sugar and chile ancho. Rich flavor and spice finish. Dark beer fans, as well as spice enthusiasts, will love it. ABV 6.4%
Super Pils- Another Gringolandia series, Imperial German Pilsner. Tastes like a pilsner, drinks like an IPA. Cool, crisp, refreshing and packs a punch. 7.2% ABV
Their beers are only half the story. They made the Chicago Tribune by pulling out their beers from the Trump hotel bar, Rebar. After the comments Trump made about those from Mexico, founder Andres Araya had enough. Read the article in its entirety, you’ll thank me later.
5 Rabbit excels. The brewery is breathtaking, the beer is tasteful and full of character, and the founder is just a badass.
If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor. For ten dollars you can get a tour, a pint, and a glass to keep.
