A Toast to the Chain that 
Connects Us All

Some places aren’t just locations — they’re connected experiences. In Eagle River, that connection flows through water.28 Lakes Lager is our liquid love letter to the legendary Eagle River Chain of Lakes, the largest inland chain of lakes in the world — 28 lakes, all naturally connected, winding their way through forests, cabins, docks, and a whole lot of summer memories.

🌊 The Chain That Made Eagle River

The Eagle River Chain of Lakes stretches across more than 3,500 acres of water, linked together by narrow channels and scenic thoroughfares that let you travel lake-to-lake without ever loading up the trailer. Locals know the route by heart — and visitors learn fast that “one more lake” always turns into five.

A few highlights from the chain:

  • Yellow Birch Lake – One of the deepest on the chain and a favorite for anglers

  • Cranberry Lake – Known for clear water and calm cruising

  • Eagle Lake – The largest and busiest, where pontoon parades are practically a sport

  • Scattering Rice & Catfish Lakes – Smaller gems that feel like secret hideaways

In summer, the chain buzzes with boat traffic, float-ups, and sunset cruises. In winter, those same lakes freeze into a snowmobile superhighway. Same lakes. Different season. Same stories.

🍻 A Lager Built for Lake Days

We brewed 28 Lakes Lager to match the vibe of the chain itself:

  • Clean, crisp, and easy-drinking

  • Light malt backbone with just enough character

  • Refreshing enough for a hot dock day

  • Smooth enough for a cooler evening ride home

This is the beer you crack after pulling in the boat, after skiing the last run, or after saying, “Alright, one more stop.”

No frills. No fuss. Just a damn good lager — because when you’ve got 28 lakes to explore, you don’t need a complicated beer slowing you down.

🛶 More Than Water — It’s a Way of Life

If you’ve spent time on the chain, you know:

  • Lake hopping beats bar hopping

  • Your phone stays in the cup holder

  • Time moves differently between docks

The Chain of Lakes isn’t just geography — it’s community. It’s families returning year after year. It’s neighbors you only see by boat. It’s kids learning to ski, grandparents teaching fishing knots, and friends who swear they’re heading home… eventually.

🏆 The Beer Up Here

28 Lakes Lager is our tribute to all of it — the water, the weekends, the stories that start with “Remember that time on Eagle Lake?”

So whether you’ve cruised all 28 or you’re still working your way through them, raise a glass to the chain that ties Eagle River together.

Here’s to the lakes.

Here’s to the ride.

Here’s to 28. 🍺
