Check Out the New Grayslake Craft Options
To help you plan your Saturday bottle shop run, we organized our entire surprise delivery by vendor. Here is the full breakdown of everything hitting the shelves today:
Abomination Brewing
- The Cult of Riwaka Single Hop IPA: This hazy ale gives you a huge burst of sweet passionfruit, grapefruit, and citrus flavors. The brewers use rare New Zealand Riwaka hops to create a soft, pillowy drink with a clean finish.
B. Nektar Meads
- Strawberry Cream Delight Mead: A smooth, sweet craft mead made with real strawberries and a rich hint of vanilla. Reviewers say it tastes exactly like fruit and ice cream in a glass.
- Blackberry Mint Mead: This dark purple beverage balances tart, juicy blackberries with a crisp, cooling peppermint finish. It is an incredibly refreshing choice for a warm summer evening.
Central Waters Brewing Company
- Brewer’s Reserve Cherry Stout: A world-class imperial stout aged in oak bourbon barrels with real Wisconsin Montmorency cherries. It features deep layers of dark chocolate, roasted malt, vanilla, and a bright, tart fruit kick.
Evil Twin Brewing
- Even More Jesus Imperial Stout: Our shelves are completely restocked with this legendary, pitch-black stout. Sources describe it as a thick, heavy brew packed with intense flavors of espresso, dark cocoa, brown sugar, and warming alcohol.
Skygazer Brewing Co.
- Kiwi Passion Fruit Punch Sour: A thick, smoothie-style sour ale loaded with real fruit purée. It blends the tropical sweetness of kiwi with the sharp, mouth-puckering tang of passion fruit for a vibrant taste.
Soothsayer Hot Sauce
- No Brainer: A mild jalapeno sauce packed with real dill pickles, vinegar, and heavy garlic notes.
- Who Do Dat Voodoo?: A smoky, rich barbacoa BBQ style hot sauce with a sweet brown sugar base and a medium habanero burn.

- Chili Lips: A smoky, spicy stone-ground mustard that adds a great kick to backyard hot dogs and burgers.

Wax Wings Brewing Company
- Double Nnazareth Double IPA: A heavy-hitting, hazy double IPA loaded with tropical juice aromas like mango and pineapple.
- The Pursuit Double IPA: A deeply aromatic New England style brew that features a rotating blend of modern, dank hops.

- Kalamazoo Skyline IPA: A bright, everyday craft ale with a great balance of orange zest and piney undertones.
Werk Force Brewing
- 2026 Family Reserve Sleepy Bear: The absolute crown jewel of the drop. This massive imperial stout spent months inside select bourbon barrels to pull rich notes of charred oak, dark fudge, and smooth vanilla from the wood.
- A Beer For Dad With Love: A clear, golden, and classic West Coast style IPA with a traditional pine aroma and a dry, bitter finish.
- Batch 1000 Pineapple Express: A celebrating West Coast IPA brewed with special terpenes for a dank, resinous aroma and a sweet pineapple rind flavor.
