Forging Connections: August Happy Hour at Koval
It's August in Chicago. It's hot. So is a forge—which is what "Koval" means. Join us for happy hour at the city's first distillery since Pro
August in Chicago runs hot, so we're going where they've made a business of it. "Koval" means blacksmith—someone who forges connections—which feels about right for a room full of social good communicators worth knowing.
Koval is Chicago's first distillery since Prohibition, woman-owned, and grain-to-bottle: they grow it, mill it, mash it, distill it, and bottle it all under one Ravenswood roof. They're known for the "heart cut"—keeping only the best middle of each batch. We'll take the same approach to the evening: good people, good pours, no filler.
Come for a cocktail, stay to forge your own connections with some great people.

Drop in anytime between 5:30 and 7:30—no need to stay the whole time.

This event is August's edition of our ongoing Third Thursday Happy Hours for social good communicators in the Chicago area.
