Spring break is almost here, and if you’re not someone lucky enough to enjoy the breeze off the ocean or to head back to Iowa City with a tan, then sit back and celebrate the break with an ice cold Good Juju.

Good Juju is a spring seasonal ale that comes from the Left Hand Brewery of Longmont, Colo. Joe Hotek of John’s Grocery describes Good Juju as the perfect way to welcome the warm weather.

“It’s a nice, light body refreshing ale that’s brewed with ginger roots,” he said. “It’s very refreshing, with a tad bit of sweetness in the front. There’s not much to it except that bit of ginger.”

With a golden color mixed with a ginger aroma and bits of cloves, Hotek thinks that a bottle of Good Juju goes best with spicy food.

“Good Juju will go great with any kind of Caribbean food or spicy Indian cuisine,” he said.
