We own and manufacture our own brand called Lombardi Limonata. Trademarked in 2013 Lombardi Limonata is an Italian style hard lemonade made in Madison, WI. Originally produced as a vodka lemonade (2012) and later as a malt beverage (2013), Lombardi drinks have been gaining more market share year after year.
Starting with a pilsner style beer, we utilize multi-layered charcoal filters to filter our base three times to create a clean, clear malt bases. After filtering, we add pure cane sugar and real fruit juices. Lombardi Limonata comes in four different flavors, a traditional Lemon, a sweet Red Raspberry Lemonade, a refreshing Orange Lemonade, and a tropical Mango Pineapple Banana.
