Limited Edition Gin Bottle Voucher
$30
A very special, extremely limited-edition gin produced in collaboration with County Seat Spirits and the producers of The Ginvitational. This limited-edition gin, produced with summer cocktails in mind, is citrus forward with an assortment of aromatics. The true highlights are the unique additions of Buddha’s Hand, an Asian fruit of exquisite form and aroma along with Centennial hops. The hops are a nod to the Lehigh Valley’s deep brewing history.

All bottles sold online before the event will be signed and numbered for pickup at the event.
