Solemn Oath Brewery, 1661 Quincy Ave. #179, Naperville IL (630) 995-3062 Map
The first new City Water flavor, just in time for summer.
We figured, if we’re gonna drop a new flavor of hard seltzer that it better knock harder than an 808 bass. To ensure that, we are proud to be able to have created ‘Ooh La La Pink Lemonade Hard Seltzer with legendary hip hop hitters Killer Mike and El-P, known collectively as Run The Jewels. Ooh La La Pink Lemonade City Water drops on RTJ’s favorite date, 4/20 at the brewery and in stores across the Chicagoland area.

Come be one of the first ones to try our brand new beer we brewed in collaboration with Bar Chido. This is your chance to try the beer even before the restaurant opens!
Tom, Alison, and Sam (Bar Chido) brainstormed a beer that would make an excellent pairing for the delicious Mexican food that will be served at Bar Chido. The obvious choice was an easy drinking Mexican-style lager.

We will also be serving this beer in our special glassware designed by Phineas Jones!
