Tip the Cow day approaches! This Saturday (1/14) in Waterloo, hit up SingleSpeed Brewing Company to get your hands and tastebuds on some excellent brews! Here’s what is releasing this Saturday:
Roll call: Saturday’s 𝘩𝘺𝘱𝘦𝘳-𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 Tip the Cow Day releases.

ᴛᴡᴏ ᴄᴏᴡꜱ (10.9% ABV): The journey to the barrel had worn on our beloved cow friends. Both arrived weary from the travel. Once they reached their destination, they settled in for an extended oak-rest. A full year later, just in time for the day created in their honor, they are awake, they are refreshed, and they are ready to visit your palate. Available on tap and in bottles at our Waterloo Taproom + on tap in our Cedar Falls Taproom.
ᴄᴏᴄᴏɴᴜᴛ ᴍɪɢʀᴀᴛɪᴏɴ (7.4% ABV): If you like Piña Coladas, and/or getting caught in the rain, you’re gonna be feeling this beer. Available on tap at both locations, limited can quantity available at our Waterloo Taproom.
