Updated: Added a couple stores I missed.
I work for MillerCoors, so my friends, neighbors and relatives know very well that beer makes a wonderful Christmas gift.
(I suppose wine and spirits do, too, but you didn’t hear that from me :))
There are lots of local options to buy alcohol, but I’ll give a shoutout to six local liquor stores …
- Bully’s Discount Beverage Center, 1232 Milwaukee Ave.
- King’s Row, 1202 Milwaukee Ave.
- Chicago Avenue Liquor, 309 N. Chicago Ave.
- Marquette Liquor, 1123 Marquette Ave.
- G&K Liquor, 1508 Rawson Ave.
- B J Liquor Store, 2411 5th Ave.
And here’s a few holiday suggestions, with a nod to MillerCoors …
- Coors Light and Miller Lite. You can’t go wrong with the two best-tasting Premium Light beer brands in the country.
- Leinenkugel’s Snowdrift Vanilla Porter. This new winter seasonal is really, really good.
- Crispin cider. Our recently acquired craft cider company has a number of terrific fresh-pressed apple and pear varieties.
Merry Christmas … cheers!
