Why is it yours? Well, we don’t document how much of the beer we drink, but it’s safe to say that the majority of the beer we make is for you. We also find great pleasure in watching people enjoy what we work so hard to produce day after day. Here’s what we have to offer. It’s (mostly) all yours, so enjoy it!
BEER STYLES
COCO™
(year-round) – on tap and in cans
2014 AND 2015 GOLD MEDAL WINNER, GREAT AMERICAN BEER FEST® | 2016 CHAMPION DES MOINES REGISTER “BEER BRACKETS”
Milk stout with lactose sugar. Cocoa nibs and bourbon vanilla beans make this beer creamy and chocolaty. Midnight Wheat for a non-bitter black color and flaked oats for a full body. We wanted a stout, so why not a milk stout? Because we can … so we did.
6.0% ABV
SMOKED RED™
(year-round) – on tap and in cans
Roasted malts yield nutty flavors mixed with dark fruit from dark caramel malts. A responsible amount of cherry wood smoked malt lends hints of forest and campfire that blend well with the subtle spice of Perle hops. Not being fans of extremely smoked beers, we wanted to bring some balance to the style.
6.5% ABV
LAKE BEAST™
(year-round) – on tap and in cans
LAKE BEAST is our take on a New England-style IPA. It features prominent notes of grapefruit and mixed berries with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel. No bittering hops are used to brew LAKE BEAST, making it extremely refreshing and crushable, perfect for your next trip to the lake. Dive in … if you dare.
6.1% ABV
AMES LAGER™
(year-round) – on tap and in cans
An American Lager with a light body, balanced flavor, hints of grain, subtle hops and a clean finish. A portion of all proceeds of AMES LAGER will advance WE WILL‘s mission of helping Iowa State University student-athletes and our local communities.

PEANUT BUTTER COCO™

Quick, name a more iconic duo than peanut butter and chocolate. On second thought, don’t — it doesn’t exist. That’s why we combined our award-winning COCO STOUT with a heaping helping of delicious, creamy, roasty-toasty peanut butter!

INFINITE BLACK IPA™
(rotating) – on tap and in cans
Black in appearance. Abundant aromas and flavors of melon, grapefruit, fresh-baked bread, caramel, earthy spices and a boatload of roasted malt. INFINITE BLACK gets much of its profile from the use of midnight wheat — which is a featured ingredient of our award-winning chocolate stout.
7% ABV
HOLY L™
(rotating) – on tap and in cans
Classic Cascade and Centennial hops in what could easily have been a pale ale. We lowered the alcohol, bumped up the bitterness, dry hopped and fermented with lager yeast to make a clean, crisp, perfectly-hopped, sessionable — some might say OBSESSIONABLE — brew for you.
4.5% ABV
