Pixie Mix Pink Lemonade Seltzer
Taste the last drops of summer with our new Pixie Mix Pink Lemonade!
We crafted another nostalgic Pixie Mix based on our favorite warm weather drink – pink lemonade! Lemon & raspberry flavors are blended into our special Pixie Mix based for a refreshing 5.5% ABV treat.

Mango Strawberry Lemonade Imperial Seltzer
9% Imperial seltzer with mango and strawberry flavors.

BA White Chocolate Macadamia Stout – Collab with Eighth State – quantities are very limited
Barrel Aged Imperial Stout with Cocoa Nibs, Nuts, Vanilla and Milk Sugar.

Morever DDH IPA
This Double Dry Hopped IPA is a delicious juice bomb thanks to a hefty hopping of Citra, Motueka, & Simcoe hops. An endless succession of juicy pineapple, grapefruit, and tangerine notes are leveled out with a hint of bitterness that resolves onto a smooth and refreshing finish.

Strawberry Orange Dbl Marbles Milkshake IPA
Ever since we decided to explore the realm of making world-class Milkshake-Style IPAs there were two in particular that have taken on global recognition. So we decided, what would happen if the two joined forces to create something completely epic? Enter 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝗢𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀. We combined our two most popular milkshake-IPAs and put them inside of the same glorious can for a legendary battle between the two titans. An all-out assault of tangy vs. juicy, tart vs. sweet, and good vs…well…also good. Ripe, succulent, and overflowing with both oranges and strawberries, this is one Marbles built for the ages. (8% ABV)

Exceeding Expectations Hazy IPA
First ever IPA from Company Values! Exceeding Expectations is a hazy IPA with Strata & Mosaic hops.

Entrepreneurial Spirit Smoothie Seltzer
Mango lemonade smoothie seltzer sour (gluten free).

Enchanted Island Sour – Version 3
Inspired by a Hawaiian Mai Tai cocktail, this sour ale is bursting with tropical fruit tones and held together with a touch of almond and sweetened with blackstrap molasses.

Humble Bumble Buzzed Seltzer – Version 4
This is a super tropical version of the buzzed seltzer. The coconut is light but the other flavors are huge, and this should be a touch creamier than the previous versions due to the banana and mangosteen.

Miracle of Birth Center DIPA
State Fair DIPA w/ Milk Sugar (8.5%)
The Miracle of Birth Center is typically our first stop at the fair. Partially because it’s the closest entrance the State Fair has to our brewery & partially because the combination of all that fried food + witnessing the awe & splendor of new farm animals entering the world in all of their uncensored glory can, at times, be a bit… unsettling. Our hand-selected Strata & Talus + a dash of Milk Sugar, you know… for the cows.

Standing Ovation TIPA
This is us seeing how much juice we can pull out of one of our favorite hop combos. Obnoxiously loud quantities of our hand selected strata, cashmere & cashmere cryo. Just be careful standing up… this one’s a doozie coming in at a whopping 10.5%.

Double Universe DIPA
A double-ized version of our flagship hazy IPA, Mirror Universe. Double Universe is absolutely slammed with Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Citra, Citra Cryo, and El Dorado hops, and brewed with tons of wheat and oats. We ferment it cool with our house IPA yeast, and the result is a massive beer that positively drips tropical character.

Mirror Universe IPA
Double dry-hopped hazy IPA brewed with wheat, oats, and lots of Citra, Mosaic, and El Dorado hops

Crankin’ Foamers
Just your standard American Slammin’ beer. A premium corn lager brewed the old fashioned way, with a cereal mash and an extended lagering period. Collaboration with Modern Times Beer.

dHop 35 – 8.5%
dHop 35 pours a very vibrant yellow, releasing bright tropical notes of rainbow melon, bright citrus, mango, pineapple, and peach.

Fluctuation DDH DIPA – 8.1%
Departures from Equilibrium are known as fluctuations. It pours a very hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and lychee with an undercurrent of sorbet and cream. Fluctuation tastes highly resinous and tropical with an assertive yet soft bitterness. We consider this fluctuation to be perfectly unbalanced.

Galaxy Flare DDH DIPA – 8.5% ABV
Starting off with a base of white wheat and flaked oats, we used our 100% hand selected Victorian Galaxy in both the whirlpool and dry hop for the hop bill. Pouring a deep hazy yellow, saturated aromas and flavors of Florida navel orange, passionfruit, lychee, and grapefruit build into a dank #EQjuice forward finish with a balanced creaminess and a touch of hop bitterness. It seems like it took us lightyears to make our first All Galaxy DIPA, but we think it was worth the wait!

Photon – 4.8% ABV
Photon is our light and crushable American Pale Ale loaded with pacific northwest hops. It pours a very hazy orange, releasing well-blended notes of apricot, tangerine, peach, mango, and pineapple. It tastes of soft juicy tropical fruits, hop resins, and a hint of biscuit. A smooth rounded bitterness with a touch of dryness ensures you’re ready for the next sip. This drinking experience is further enhanced with a soft and billowy mouth-feel that has made this the go to ale for the Equilibrium crew, especially when a productive day needs to follow a fun night.

Evergy Wave DDH DIPA – 8% ABV
We are thrilled with Dream Wave Fluctuation. We revisited the Wave treatment with one of our favorite beers by paying tribute to the other side of the MC² relationship with energy. Energy Wave takes the MC² grain bill, increases the hops, and adds a touch of lactose. Energy Wave pours a glowing hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of mango, pineapple, lactose, and apricot. Energy Wave tastes like a succulent wave of creamy mango juice with a touch of sweet that is dangerously drinkable and balanced.

Oktoberfest
Toasty bread and caramel notes with a firm bitterness for balance. Prost!

MORE BREWING

Ambrosia Dbl Marbles IPABoldly going where no marbles has gone before, 𝗔𝗺𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗗𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀 is the most intricate milkshake IPA we’ve ever brewed. Created to be a blast from the past, this Milkshake DIPA is reminiscent of all those crazy summer memories you experienced when you were a kid…and for some reason, there always seemed to be a fresh Ambrosia Salad wherever that may have been. Tropical Pinapple and Coconut are the highlight, followed by a light boost of tangerine citrus and cherry drupe. We then doubled down on the already insanely fluffy body with marshmallows for an ultra creamy mouthfeel and taste. Everything was then lightly sweetend with sweet vanilla to perfectly balance this brew. (8% ABV)

Bright, citrus + tropical frui hazy ipa.

Showy Stigmas – 8% Hazy Double IPA

.
This milk sugar Double IPA is packed with Citra, Amarillo, and Mosaic hops. This DIPA has a juicy punch of mango, pineapple, passionfruit and berry!

Took our Orange Starfish recipe and made it twice as nice. We took two hops with symbiotic personalities, Citra & Galaxy, & introduced them at fermentation for a dry-hop that gives big juicy flavors of plump candied oranges.

Baby Shark IPA 5.5% ABV
Ever caught a Baby Shark?? Legend has it a fresh catch of this is incredibly smooth & juicy. A heavy dry-hopped diet of Citra gives the Baby Shark ripe flavors of grapefruit, peaches, & soft mango, & makes it’s habitat in a sea of hazy orange clementine. Grab a 4-pack and enjoy the freshest haul of this IPA.

How now brown cow Peanut butter/Chocolate/Coffee
This is a low ABV Milk Stout, with rich aromas of peanut butter, light roasted and mild chocolate notes. For those of us who are peanut butter fiends… DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS ONE!

Pequod releases for week of June 14th! Equilibrium, Humble Forager, Untitled Art, Blackstack, and Modist

June 4, 2021Leave a comment

More beers on their way from Pequod Distribution in the coming weeks! Here’s what should be making their way to our shelves!

Equilibrium

18 Decillion
We started off with a big base of oats and wheat before a LUPOMAX Idaho7 whirlpool and a tremendous Strata and Galaxy dry hop. 18 Decillion pours murky yellow with aromas of grove stand OJ being enjoyed in a forest made of Starburst (please add to your bucket list if you haven’t experienced this).

Astrophysics
Astrophysics pours a vibrant milky yellow with heavy aromas of starfruit, passionfruit, tangerine Pez, and dank hops. Flavors of sweet orange flesh, passionfruit juice, cantaloupe, and gummy peach rings transition to notes of berry and yuzu before a Big Bang of our #EQjuice rainbow melon finish. This beer is very soft, round, and full the pallet.

Fluctuation DDH DIPA
Our team’s favorite rotational makes its return today. Fluctuation has bright tropical notes of passion fruit, mango, pineapple, and lychee with an undercurrent of sorbet and cream await!

Fractal Citra/Sultana
Fractal Citra/Sultana pours glowing yellow with big aromatic notes and flavors of Valencia orange, pineapple slices, and lime spritz in a balanced finish with touch of bitterness. Tropical in flavor with a manageable ABV, this crusher is the perfect companion for the warmer days and outdoor activities.

Half Full batch 2 – Dbl IPA (8.0 % DIPA) a collaboration with District 96 Beer Factory.Named to serve an important message: Stay Positive. Optimism creates opportunity and pessimism kills it. Expecting good things helps formulate actions to produce good things. We are all in this together and we want you to remember to always see your glass as Half Full. If you have an empty glass, crack one of these cans, make it 100% full, then half full, enjoy and reflect on positive thoughts during this virtual tropical vacation.

Lupo Lab Linear Combination 2 (8.0 % DIPA)
Pouring a vibrant yellow color, Linear Combination 2 offers notes of dank glasses of champagne with tangerine and mango wedges in fresh hop fields. Intense and saturated flavors of juicy citrus, ripe mango, and notes of a melon await with heavy earth and a touch of pine. This beer is aggressive and soft at the same time with an escalating juiciness builds into a #EQjuice finish.

MC2 (squared) DIPAMC² is Photon’s big brother. We literally took Photon’s hopping rate and squared it. This DIPA is our tribute to the amazing relationship that energy and mass are balanced, proportional to the speed of a photon squared. It pours a hazy tangerine color, releasing bright tropical notes of mango, pineapple, and apricot. MC² tastes like succulent mango juice loaded with chewy hop resins. It’s very drinkable for 8.0%; be careful, this one can sneak up on you.

Mmmmm…..Osa
Mmm…Osa is our beloved Photon American Pale Ale conditioned on freshly zested oranges at a rate of 6 oranges per barrel. It’s everything photon is, with a dominant orange presence; this citric delight is our preferred way to start the afternoon.

Super Fractal Julia Set
The Julia Set is named after the French mathematician Gaston Julia. This complex set exists as a by-product of the Mandelbrot set and was devised while studying complex dynamics during the early 20th century. This set of complex numbers can cause drastic changes in the sequence of iterated functions.
We scaled up from Fractal using a super simple grain bill of 2-Row and our specific fractal fermentation profile before intensely hoping it with a Mosaic and El Dorado whirlpool and a dry hop of Citra, Mosaic, Strata and El Dorado.

HUMBLE FORAGER

Coastal Sunrise Ver.4 – Mango Lassi
This Lassi inspired breakfast sour is packed with 3 ingredients from India, Alphonso Mango, planifolia vanilla beans and cardamom swirl with creamy indonesian coconut. It’s a mango bomb with a hint of vanilla and spice – just incredible!

Red Bottoms Dbl IPA – 8.8% ABV
Our friends @ Track Brewing co in Manchester, UK did a thing using Mosaic, Strata, Riwaka from New zealand to make a smooth beautiful IPA.

Sponsored Content 5% ABV
We saved a bunch of money on this beer by keeping the malt bill simple, phoning it in on the label & not doubling or tripling anything in the dry hop with our hand selected Mosaic, Centennial & Columbus Cryo. Instead of passing the savings onto you, the consumer, we decided to spend the fat stacks we saved on super effective & totally organic paid advertising. Cheers!

STRAIGHT FYRE

– DDH DIPA (8.8%)
In addition to their podcast, our buds at Private Sector Provisions have been cranking out some of the most crave worthy smash burgs on either side of the Mississippi.

Pequod News: Here’s what’s coming from Fairstate, Untitled Art, Humble Forager, Weldwerks, Wild Mind, and Modist!

June 1, 2021Leave a comment

The huge news in Iowa the last few weeks is the huge news of Pequod Distribution and the breweries that they will be bringing to Iowa. With a wonderfully popular portfolio the plan for distribution deliveries is the DSM market getting Tuesday/Wednesday drops and Eastern Iowa Thursday/Fridays! With that being said, here’s what’s in store from the breweries mentioned in the title above! Some in cans and some in kegs, check it out! Cheers!:

Big Doinks – Extra Dank IPA
Big Doinks is a love letter to all that we enjoy about West Coast IPAs. We’ve refined its essence down to a pure expression of resinous dankitude. We cut out the crystal malt and dialed back the bitterness from “way too much” to “hey, this is actually bitter and I like it!” levels, slammed it with our hand-selected lot of Columbus cryo, and fermented it nice and dry. It’s great, you should try it.

Crankin’ Foamers – American Lager – Collab w/Modern Times BrewingWe love lagers and we’re pretty damn happy this collab with @moderntimes is back. Foamers is made the old-fashioned way– with a cereal mash and extended lagering times for off-the-charts crispiness.

Flavor Pop Technology – Hazy IPA, 6.8% ABV
This is an IPA brewed with a couple hop varieties intended to maximize a big citrus/tropical pop.

Foamers LimeFoamers Lime was intended as a special offering for an eatery in Minneapolis, with a keg or two hitting our taproom… Then a pandemic hit and eviscerated all planned activities. We were left with an abundance of this unbelievably refreshing beer that soon became a favorite among our guests and staff. Flip the album over and here we are in 2021, with Foamers Lime back on tap and 12-packs of this new favorite on the shelves.

Mangorindo – Sour Wheat Ale brewed with Mango, Tamarind and Lime Purees
Inspiration for our beers can come from a multitude of different places, but some of our favorites, are inspired by our own staff. Drawing from their own cultural experiences, Alonzo, one of our taproom ambassadors, teamed up with Luz, one of our packaging team members to ideate on a beer that would reflect familiar flavors from their roots in Mexico.
“A lot of Mexican candy revolves around sweet, spice, and acid,” said Alonzo. “One of my favorite candies in particular are these mango suckers powdered with chile and lime salt.” The result was a sour wheat ale with mango, tamarind, lime puree and NO lactose. link
