4 Hands Brewing coming to Iowa via Pequod! Plus Drekker, Blackstack, Phase Three, and Great Notion!

Incarnation IPA – Flagship IPA – Rise up and tantalize your tastebuds with our Mosaic-hopped IPA! Incarnation pours a glowing amber hue with a firm collar of off-white foam. A subtle malt sweetness provided by pale and caramel malts gives way to loads of pineapple, passion fruit and candied citrus aromas and flavors in this medium bodied IPA.

Tidal – Imperial IPA -Massive waves of zesty tangerine, bold berry and tropical fruit leap from this soft, pillowy beer that was fermented using our hazy IPA yeast strain. Bright notes of pineapple, mango, pink grapefruit and subtle vanilla contributed by aggressive hopping with Idaho 7 and Lotus crash on your palate leading to a lingering hop presence that favors fruity aromatics and flavors over upfront bitterness

Scale of Complexity – Rotaing IPA Series – Nelson Sauvin, the ninth in our rotating series of hazy IPAs, is heavily dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin hops resulting in a beer with lower bitterness, but massive aromas and flavors of white wine grapes, lychee, lemon and grapefruit

Fountain Sodie – Rotaing Session IPA- Fountain Sodie joins the lineup as a citrusy, lower ABV hazy IPA perfect for when it’s time to session some sodies. With emphasis remaining on hop flavor and aroma, Citra hops used for late- and dry-hopping contribute citrus, peach, melon and passion fruit notes to a drinking experience with minimal bitterness and a soft, pillowy body

Contact High – Hoppy Wheat– Original Contact High is back! Not just another boring wheat beer, Contact High is hopped with copious amounts of Cascade and Centennial hops from the Pacific Northwest and brewed with fresh orange zest. Contact High pours a bright orange hue with a big citrus aroma

Voltron Volume 1 – Collab with Narrow Gauge – The first in a six part series of collaborations with breweries from around the country to bring Voltron to life, Volume One is a hazy IPA brewed with Narrow Gauge Brewing Company in Florissant, Missouri. To impart tons of citrusy hop flavor and aroma without substantial upfront bitterness, we mash hopped with Citra and Mosaic and carried out fermentation with Omega Yeast’s Helio Gazer, a thiolized yeast strain that delivers intense notes of guava, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and stone fruit through a metabolic process called biotransformation.

Sparkler Hard Seltzer – Inspired by one of our favorite summertime treats, the red, white and blue popsicle, Sparkler shines with juicy cherry, lime and blue raspberry flavors

The Password is Password – BARNTOWN COLLAB – A couple weeks ago our friend Pete from Barn Town Brewing made the trip up to hang out and brew a sour with us and we’re suuuuuuper pumped with how it turned out! THE PASSWØRD IS PA$$WORD is a Citrus Berry Lemonade Sour with Orange, Sicilian Lemon, Strawberry, and Raspberry so it’s crazy tasty and perfect for these hot days we’ve been having and we can’t wait for y’all to try it!

Hex Marks the Spot – Hex Marks the spot is brewed with a bunch of wheat and oats and hopped with just the right amount of Galaxy & Strata for some insanely dank & tropical notes of bubble gum, grapefruit, orange, and pinapple!  

Slang Blueberry Muffin – Blueberry Muffin Slang Du Jour is loaded up with Blueberry, of course, and then we threw in a bunch of plum, granola, cinnamon, lactose and vanilla beans and dialed in the flavor to taste just like blueberry muffins right out of the oven! You know, with the crumbles and the ooey gooey warm blueberries? Yeah, you know
