12:00 pm 🍺 Hell’s Reflection
Solemn Oath Brewery, 1661 Quincy Ave. #179, Naperville IL (630) 995-3062 🗺️
& Solemn Oath Still Life, 2919 W. Armitage Ave., Chicago  🗺️
A pint of Heaven, a shot of Hell.
A two-part fresh lager drop hits the lines this weekend as Heaven’s Mirror officially welcomes, begrudgingly we’re certain, an evil twin to the conversation. Behold, Hell’s Reflection burns bright.
The same foeder-aged Mexican-style Lager base you now know and love met with the deviously dangerous twist only Jeppson’s Malört can impart. Your read that right. We barrel-aged a foeder-aged lager in Malört barrels. The result? Subtle, yet present herbal bitterness, grapefruit pith, and that all too familiar “gasoline on the rocks with a a twist of regret” from its time spent in the depths of Chicago’s iconic seventh circle of liqueur hell. It’s a Chicago rite of passage. It’s one hell of a beer.
Exclusively available at Solemn Oath at noon today. Draft only. Be a pro and order a “Hidden Handshake” for a pint of Heaven and a shot (a 5oz pour) of Hell.
