Loco Boys' Senorita Sunshine
Nothing’s better in the summertime than the refreshing taste of a crisp, cold, crushable beer…except for maybe a fresh, limey margarita. Sometimes, deciding between these two libations as your summer drink of choice can be tough. With one of its newest and most popular beers, Traverse City’s Loco Boys Brewing Company is asking the question: “Why choose at all?” Meet the Señorita Sunshine, a limey, salty, gose-style ale that offers the perfect middle ground between beer and margarita. Loco Boys even serves the beer with a slice of lime. It’s the perfect summer sipper, and the ideal complement to the brewery’s menu of Mexican-inspired eats. Enjoy a pint at the bright and breezy bar or outside on the patio at 901 W Front St. in Traverse City. (231) 252-2378; locoboysbrewing.com.
