“When we met with David, Mark, and Peter, we were excited from the get-go,” said Austin Sawyer, Director of Craft and Import Brands for Lakeshore Beverage. “Alter is a fast-growing local brewery and we’re excited to partner with them and continue to grow their brand here in the entire Chicagoland area. They’re great people and are producing some really fantastic beers.”

When asked about the new partnership, Alter co-owner David Yob said, “After a patient search to find the right partner to introduce Alter Great American Beer BarsBrewing beers to the city of Chicago and areas around, we are excited to expand our distribution with Lakeshore Beverage. Two and a half years after opening our tasting room in Downers Grove we are excited to share our beers with so many great new accounts and craft beer consumers.”
