Malt Row Hoppy Hour: Beer Cocktails

For our next Hoppy Hour we'll be jumping into the world of beer cocktails! Join KOVAL Distillery mixologist Zach Overstreet and brewers from Empirical Brewery and Urban Renewal Brewery to craft two cocktails made with booze from here on Malt Row.

Featured Beer & Spirits include:

KOVAL's Cranberry Gin Liqueur: KOVAL Cranberry Gin Liqueur offers an enticing blend of fruit-forward and bittersweet flavors, surrounded by the crisp, well-rounded notes of KOVAL Gin's signature 13 botanicals. An homage to aperitif culture, it is an excellent base for easy, enticing cocktails for all seasons - simply mix with a splash of Prosecco or any sparkling water, and a signature spritz is born! Made from all-natural ingredients sourced directly from local, organic Midwestern farmers. [Available in 750ml ($30) and 200ml ($12) bottles]
Empirical's Symbiotic Kettle Sour Ale: Symbiotic is our award-winning “gateway” sour and a rising star of our year round lineup. It won a gold medal at the Illinois Brew Fest in 2018 in Berliner Weisse/Witbier/Saison category. It gets its name from the way our yeast and lactobacillus bacteria work in conjunction to create this ultra-light, delightfully tart beer. It is a perfect option for drinkers looking for a point of entry into the burgeoning sour beer category and a go-to brew for patio season. [Available in 6 packs ($11) and 64oz growlers ($14)]
Urban Renewal's Never Further. Never Closer: Never Further. Never Closer is an American Dry-Hopped Wheat beer. The nose features tropical fruits such as papaya and mango. We brewed this beer in collaboration with the Andersonville Chamber of Commerce in the spirit of Midsommarfest. [Available in 4 packs ($10) and cases ($50)]
