Hydrating in summer is key, but it doesn’t have to be boring. This trio of drinks packs in flavor while cooling you off.
Pineapple Hula Cider by CiderBoys
Tart but sweet, CiderBoys’ Pineapple Hula Cider is Wisconsin made but available this summer at a locally owned craft beer taphouse, Barker Brewhouse. The 5% ABV tropical drink is reminiscent of – surprise! – a liquid green apple Jolly Rancher and is just one of 12 hard ciders available in Barker’s selection of more than 100 cans and bottles.
Barker Brewhouse 96 N. Barker Ave.
