Our hearts go out to all those effected by the flooding in Ames. We are a strong community and it’s been amazing to see everyone come together and help each other during this difficult time.

Due to the water shut off/boil water advisory we will be closed today. Watch our website, Twitter, and Facebook for details over the next few days on if we will be open for business.

Ames residents: Please remember to conserve your water usage and boil any tap water used. Head to the City of Ames’ website at http://www.cityofames.org/FloodUpdate.htm for updates on volunteer needs, water distribution centers, street closures, and more.

Back when the high proof beer bill passed, we asked you to vote on the first one we brew. The winner was a Double IPA, now it’s ready to go and we’re having a launch party to celebrate!

Join us Thursday, June 17 from 5pm-7pm at the brewpub for the launch party. We’ll have 1 free sample per customer, then it’s $4 pints, $11.50 pitchers, or $10 growler fill. Now to the mighty beer description…

The Double Down IPA has the bite of a vampire and the heart of a werewolf. This doubly intense IPA will be an onslaught to your senses. It starts with an extreme hop nose derived from copious amount of hops with a 22 pound blend of Cascade, Amarillo, Simcoe, and Chinook. Double Down is an epic battle between caramel malt flavors and intense hop love. You don’t have to choose, you can love them both by taking a drink. This ale is 8.5% abv. Caution: this ale is doubly stronger than the average beer. Drink responsibly.
