Tip Top Partners with Chicago's Revolution Brewing for Kindred Spirits Series

Tip Top Proper Cocktails, the gold standard in ready-to-drink cocktails, is proud to announce the fourth release of the Kindred Spirits Series—a first-of-its-kind brewery collaboration project that blends the heritage of classic cocktails with the innovation of craft brewing. This release is in partnership with Chicago's, Revolution Brewing.

The series launched this spring and pairs Tip Top’s expertise in perfecting their award-winning cocktail recipes with the creative force of five celebrated breweries from across the country: WeldWerks Brewing (Greeley, CO), Holy City Brewing (Charleston, SC), Green Cheek Beer Co. (Orange County, CA), Revolution Brewing (Chicago, IL), and Creature Comforts Brewing Co. (Athens, GA). Each collaboration transforms one of Tip Top’s signature cocktails—like the Bee’s Knees, Cosmopolitan, and Whiskey Sour—into a distinct beer release, blending tradition and innovation in a celebration of craftsmanship on both sides of the bar.

Whiskey Sour Inspired Ale, in partnership with Revolution Brewing, will be released on Wednesday, September 24. The Whiskey Sour Inspired Ale is a blend of barrel-aged beer combined with a Freedom sour base and a touch of lemon and oak. The 16 oz. cans can be found in markets across the Midwest, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, specific store locations can be found here. 

"Tip Top’s commitment to delivering classic cocktails with craftsmanship and character mirrors the approach we take with our beer here at Revolution Brewing,” said Katie McNulty, Brand Director at Revolution Brewing. “When they invited us to reimagine one of their cocktails through the lens of craft beer, we knew it was an exciting challenge we couldn't pass up. Whiskey Sour was a natural fit, allowing us to draw on our expertise in oak aging and session sours, and the result captures the best of both worlds: cocktail flavor with the drinkability of beer." 

Locals can commemorate the launch alongside the Revolution Brewing and Tip Top teams at their launch party on Wednesday, October 1 starting at 5 p.m. at Bitter Pops. They'll be giving out samples, swag, and celebrating this iconic collaboration. 

WeldWerks, Holy City Brewing, and Greek Cheek Beer Co. launched their collaborations earlier this year; guests can expect the final release in the inaugural Kindred Spirits Series from Athens, GA’s Creature Comforts Brewing Co. in the coming months.
