“Local 11” light lager returns to Clock House Friday March 1st!

Leave a comment

‼️We are ecstatic to announce the return of Local 11 Lager this Friday, March 1st!

On February 28th, 1918 the International Association of Firefighters was born to support firefighters throughout the United States and Canada. More importantly, your Cedar Rapids Professional Firefighters were one of the first inaugural unions to come together in solidarity and charter with the IAFF. Our Cedar Rapids Professional Firefighters are collectively known as IAFF Local 11 as they were the 11th Union to sign with the IAFF. Now there are over 3,500 Locals internationally.

The love and dedication for our craft gets poured into every beverage. The same love and dedication that Local 11 has for serving our community, the City of Five Seasons.

With this collaboration, we offer a toast to those that came before us, those who serve today, and those who will follow this calling tomorrow.

You can show your support by drinking Local 11 Lager, an American Light Lager crafted from just barley, rice, and hops.

Part of the proceeds will be donated back to Local 11 to help sustain the efforts of serving our community for future generations to come.

4-packs and glassware will be available exclusively inside the Clock House taproom.

We can’t wait to share this beer with you! Cheers from Local 11 & Clock House Brewing🍻

February is “Stout” month! What stout are you drinking?

Leave a comment

Ever since 1993, February as been designated “Stout” month. What better way to celebrate the end of January than by cracking a bottle/can of your favorite roasty stout? There are so many great stouts to choose from in our great state, but here’s what I’ll be sipping on this month…plus any others I may cross paths with!

**Lion Bridge Percussive Maintenance** – the perfect beer to pop open during February. I was lucky enough to procure a few bottles and also has this decadent baby on tap. One of the best beers in the state in my opinion. 12% can be scary, but it’s extremely well hidden. Sip on this one and relish it, maybe share it, but make sure you are sharing with someone worthy of this brew.

**Singlespeed Tip the Cow** – sometimes we take for granted those things that are readily available to us. Tip the Cow happens to be one of those beers, You can find it in almost any grocery store in the area and also happens to be a fantastic stout. Coffee and chocolate and I think I’ll have at least two of these!

**Big Grove Richard the Whale** – another harder to get beer that you can’t just pick up at your local grocery store…BUT…this baby is currently on tap at my local watering hole, Chameleon’s Pub and Grub in Mount Vernon, and once I drink that dry I still have a few bottles stashed in the cellar. If you were lucky enough to attend Richard Day, you probably have some variants to drink as well….LUCKY!

**Backpocket Cookie Junkie** – when I first saw this can I thought for sure this beer would be too sweet, but the balance of the peanut butter and the 175 pounds of sandwich cookies was perfect at not cloying at all. After a big winter feast, this is going to be my dessert!

**Clock House Pet Elephant** – the new kid to the party. Just released last weekend. This is an end of nighter, nightcap, grand finale beer. 14% is frightening, and when you finish that last sip it may seem at the moment you could handle another….hold tight….save that next bottle for another evening…get the fireplace going, turn on some Lord Huron lightly in the background, and savor every last drop of this nutter butter filled brew.

There they are! Those 5 for sure and hopefully some more stouts I run into along the way. What stout are you drinking this month and what else do I need to try? Cheers to Stout Month!
