Summer’s Last Dance isn’t just bringing the heat with its genre-defying music lineup this year—we’re serving it cold too.
Introducing the official Summer’s Last Dance Kolsch Ale, brewed in collaboration with the award-winning crew at 93 Octane Brewery. Crisp, clean, and crafted for dancing under a late-summer sky, this limited-run beer is the ultimate pre-game (and mid-rave) companion for 2025.
What Is It?
Let’s get nerdy for a second. This isn’t some watered-down sponsor pour. The Summer’s Last Dance Kolsch Ale is a carefully crafted German-style ale with just enough hop to keep it interesting and a light finish that pairs perfectly with sweaty dance floors, neon lights, and sing-alongs at sunset.
Brewed by the legends at 93 Octane Brewery, the Kolsch was designed with our crowd in mind—vibe-forward, smooth on the palate, and sessionable enough to keep you grooving all night.
Plus, the can design is a limited edition collector’s drop, wrapped in the same bold pink-and-orange energy that defines the festival.
Where to Try It — The Pre-Fest Tour
We’re not just dropping the beer, we’re taking it on tour.
If you want to sip it before anyone else, pull up to one of these events:
- Thursday 8/7 @ 6PM – Little Pops Naperville – Beer Dinner

Expect giveaways, surprise sets, and the kind of pre-party chaos you’ll tell stories about.
Why This Collab Matters
Sure, music festivals are about the lineup. But the best ones are about culture—and this beer is proof that SLD is building more than just a stage.
This is a collab born out of real synergy:
- 93 Octane is known for their inventive brews and support of local events.
- Summer’s Last Dance is turning into more than a one-day fest—it’s becoming a movement.
A beer brewed for the people, by the people who get it.
Limited Edition. You Snooze, You Lose.
This Kolsch is a one-time drop—and it’s only available leading up to the fest at select locations.
So if you want to say you drank the first official SLD beer, get your hands on a can before they’re gone.
And if you want the full experience? Grab your crew, grab your tickets, and get ready to raise a can (and some hell) on September 20th at the Summer’s Last Dance 2025 Festival Grounds in Bridgeview.
