From Greens to Good Times: Illinois PGA and Penrose Brewing Toast a New Partnership

Golf meets craft beer this season thanks to a new three-year partnership between the Illinois PGA Foundation and ​Penrose Brewing, one of Illinois’ most creative breweries based right here in Geneva along the scenic Fox River. 

Beginning in early March, Penrose Brewing will proudly feature the Illinois PGA Foundation logo on three of its most popular beverages—officially designating them as the Official Beer and Seltzer of the Illinois PGA Foundation and Illinois PGA Section. Even better, a portion of proceeds from every sale will directly support the Foundation’s mission-driven programs, helping grow the game of golf and make a positive difference in communities across Illinois.

A Toast to Great Taste and Giving Back

Penrose’s reimagined lineup celebrates golf’s fun side with a creative spin on flavor and design. Whether you’re wrapping up a round or enjoying a weekend in the Fox Valley, these drinks promise to hit the sweet spot:

Looper IPA: A crisp, crushable modern IPA brewed with vibrant Alora™ hops, featuring hints of peach, apricot, sweet melon, and yuzu. It’s a playful nod to caddies, the twists of the Penrose Triangle, and maybe even a certain mischievous gopher.

Transfusion Seltz-Up: Inspired by the classic on-course cocktail, this hard seltzer blends grape, ginger, and lime for a sophisticated, refreshing sip.

Lemon Tea-Up: A Half-and-Half–style seltzer that tastes like summer itself. This 2024 U.S. Open Hard Seltzer Championship Gold Medal winner combines juicy lemon puree with Penrose’s house-made seltzer for a bright, nostalgic finish.

Where to Find These New Favorites

The official Illinois PGA Foundation lineup hits shelves and taps in early March, available at Penrose Brewing Co. in Geneva and participating retailers throughout the region.

Whether you’re celebrating a great round or just relaxing among friends, this partnership between two community-minded Illinois originals offers the perfect reason to raise a glass—for good tastes and a great cause.
