Tell me about Everly.
Amanda: I'd like to say we're a restaurant that really caters to everyone, where a meat and potatoes guy can go out with a vegan guy. [...] There’s a lot to choose from, but it isn’t a 16-page menu — it’s thoughtful. Can we talk about the local beer scene? Amanda: Craft beers. All over the place. Youngblood from downtown gives us a rotating beer every month or so. Everyone is brewing beer these days.
Haley: Non-alcoholic beer too, we have some really interesting N/A offerings too, and a beer that doesn't just taste like Coors Light.
Everly’s current N/A offerings: Upside Down Golden Ale from Athletic Brewing + a mix of lemonades, fruit coolers, and coffee concoctions.
Pretend it’s Badger game day: What three beers are you bringing to the tailgate? Haley: The first one has to be Badger Club, obviously.
Amanda: I wanna say Spotted Cow, but everyone is doing Spotted Cow. How about 3 Sheeps Fresh Coast from Sheboygan.
Haley: Light It Up from Third Space Brewing in Milwaukee — we’ve been sold out for a while but we’re finally getting it back this week. |

|
Would you tell me a bit about the Generous Pour? Amanda: It is our rotating house cocktail where one dollar from every beverage goes to a charity of the staff's choosing supporting different groups and causes in Madison. What’s the pour this month? Haley: Currently it’s like a dreamsicle with a citrus shrub that’s made in-house.
Amanda: We use the ends of the oranges, grapefruits, limes, etc. to make the citrus shrub — to use the entire product and not create waste. |
