Description
Coalition Brewing was born out of a serendipitous chance encounter between owners Kiley Hoyt and Elan Walsky. Both began as home brewers and received formal brewing education through the Siebel Institute in Chicago.

Their love of beer and the brewing process is the impetus for the Coalator Program, which encourages local home brewers to brew their recipes in the brewery and serve them at the pub.

Coalition Brewing prides itself on highly balanced, drinkable beers.

Admin Note: Coalition closed in 2019 after being purchased by Gorges Beer Co.

5.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
On tap at Coalition, pours an opaque dark amber with a small white head. Aroma has a good balance of resinous hops and bready caramel malt. Flavour is dry, with bready malts and a touch of resinous hops - less hops than in the nose. Bland and weak, but clean and decently balanced.

On tap at Coalition, pours a cloudy pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops, and a dry biscuity backbone - not intense. Flavour is restrained for an IPA, with fruity floral hops and crisp crackery malt. Very clean and poundable. A nice change on the typical massively hoppy IPAs. Good.
