'Rainbow Connection' Beer Flight Returns This Week

CHICAGO — Two Beverly neighborhood breweries took the neighborhood by storm last year while releasing the "Rainbow Connection," a flight of beers inspired by the four flavors of the Original Rainbow Cone. This year, the Open Outcry Brewing Company and Horse Thief Hollow are at it again.

The two breweries, located five blocks apart on Western Avenue, will both host beer release parties for the return of the product from noon until closing time on Wednesday, May 15.

Last year, the breweries each brewed two beers based on Rainbow Cone flavors. This year, they are doing the same and will have the beers ready by the Wednesday release party.

Open Outcry is brewing the "Rainbow Cone Palmer House," an American Pale Ale infused with cherries, vanilla and walnuts ans well as the "Rainbow Cone Strawberry," a Russian Imperial Stout with infused strawberries.

Horse Thief Hollow is brewing the "Rainbow Cone Orange Sherbet," a Double Dry Hoppes Hazy IPA brewed with lactose, vanilla and oranges and the "Rainbow Cone Pistachio/Green Beret, an English Brown Ale brewed with pistachios.
