Ravenswood's Own KOVAL Distillery Just Dropped Its First-Ever Canned Cocktails — and a New Dining Event Is Coming for Solidarity

By Socialhood News · Il/Chicago/Ravenswood · July 30, 2026

Big things are brewing — and now canning — right here in Ravenswood. KOVAL Distillery, the neighborhood's homegrown grain-to-bottle spirits pioneer, has just launched its first-ever line of ready-to-drink canned cocktails, marking an exciting new chapter for one of Chicago's most beloved local distilleries. Two sparkling classics make up the debut lineup, meaning you can now bring a little KOVAL magic to your next picnic, rooftop hang, or backyard gathering without breaking out the shaker. It's a bold, fun move from a brand that has long defined the innovative spirit of Ravenswood's industrial corridor — and neighbors are already buzzing.

And if that's not enough to get you out and celebrating this summer, pencil in Dine in Solidarity: August 14–16. The Greater Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce is inviting the whole community to dine out at immigrant-owned restaurants in and around the neighborhood, with the chance to earn rewards just for showing up hungry and open-hearted. It's a powerful, delicious way to put your dollars where your values are — and to discover (or rediscover) some of the most flavorful tables Ravenswood has to offer.

Between KOVAL's can't-miss new launch and a weekend dedicated to community, culture, and cuisine, Ravenswood's late-summer calendar just got even richer. Grab a canned cocktail, make a reservation, and stay connected with everything happening in the neighborhood at ravenswoodchicago.org!
