Lion Bridge Brewing is ringing in the month of September with the release of two beers. Oktobott 3000 and Beer at Work will be ready for you when the taproom opens Sept. 1st @ 3:00 p.m. Here’s more on these two brews below:
Oktobot 3000 (Barrel-Aged Imperial Märzen, 8.5%abv) – A fusion brew with German and Czech roots in the recipe as well as the name (“robot” is a word with Czech origins). Munich and Bohemian Pilsner Malt are the motherboard to this amped up version of the style, while 7 months in Willett Rye Whiskey barrels greases the cogs and makes sure it all computes.
Beer at Work (Australian-style IPA, 7.0%abv) – Heavily dry-hopped with Australian Vic Secret and a touch of New Zealand Motueka, this beer exhibits strong tropical fruit flavors known to come from the land down under where women glow and men plunder.
You will soon be able to buy Cascade Brewing beers in Iowa as they’re joining Pequod’s ever expanding distribution list! More on Cascade and a ton of other brews hitting our shelves from Pequod!
Ceteris Paribus
We can’t get enough of this Ceteris Paribus hazy DIPA loaded with Phantasm NZ, Citra, and Strata. The Phantasm pushes the citrus/tropical flavors from the hops into overdrive. Rich juicy hop flavor with every sip and sniff.
Business Tropical – Corporate Ladder Collab
Business Tropical is a rich, Smoothie-Style Berliner loaded with an array of tropical fruits and vanilla. Mango, Pineapple, Blood Orange, Lime, Passionfruit, Peach, Tangerine all play into a juice bomb experience. We added vanilla to further bring this Smoothie-Style Berliner into its own – styrofoam cup not included. Throw on your suits and prepare for the perfect Summer experience.
Please keep cold at all times and drink fresh!
Capsized Goods – Mast Landing Collab
This Hazy IPA was a collaboration brew with Mast Landing Brewing! Loaded with Strata, El Dorado, and Sabro hops for a smooth, tropical hop bomb. Sweet citrus and tropical fruits blend with stone fruit notes from this hop blend.
Peach Vanilla Sprinkle Factor
This 7% Tart, Milkshake IPA is a great base for playing with fruit and hops. This time, we loaded it with peaches and vanilla. Creamsicle, IPA, Fruited Berliner… ? You decide! Sweet, fruity, hoppy and rich with great flavor.
Microdosing: Citra Once A Day IPA
Get your daily dose of this IPA that we dosed daily (…AKA every day of primary fermentation) with our extremely stanky hand selected Citra & Citra Cryo to keep the juices flowing.
Foresight DDH DIPA
The first installment of a collaboration in 3 parts with Cam & the rest of our buds at The Eighth State Brewing in Greenville, SC

Great Blackstack Bake Off Pineapple Upside Down
Quite the rendition of our favorite pastry sour with our House Mixed Culture, Foeder Fermented Berliner Base with huge amounts of Caramelized Pineapple, Cherry, Maraschino Cherry Juice, Brown Sugar, Madagascar Vanilla & Milk Sugar. Ready. Set. Baked.
Pillow Talkin’
OMG!11! 𝗣𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻’ has finally returned our calls! This Double Dry-Hopped DIPA has a very unique flavor profile thanks to a tender helping of Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Galaxy hops. Notes of pine and passionfruit flirt with floral citrus that is wildly well-rounded and well-balanced. All of these flavors are delivered on body so soft and tender, every plush sip begs to be slowly savored. (8% ABV)
Hypersolid New England IPA – 6% ABV
Introducing Hypersolid, a New England India Pale Ale brewed with pale malt, malted wheat and flaked oats. Hopped and dry hopped with our hand-selected Citra, El dorado Cryo, and Simcoe Cryo hops.
Woodland Pursuit – 6.5% ABV
New Zealand IPA (Nelson sauvin, Riwaka, Motueka) brewed to balance a bit of juicy sweetness with the explosive character within these three New Zealand grown hop varieties. An Excellent refreshment for your favorite outdoor moments.
BA Hazelnut Imperial Stout 2021 Mikerphone Collab – 13% ABV
Barrel aged imperial stout with cocoa nibs, hazelnut & milk sugar.
Hazelnut Imperial Stout Mikerphone Collab – 10.7% ABV
Imperial stout with cocoa nibs, hazelnut & milk sugar.
Bamm Bamm Rubble Rubble Tangerine – 5.2% ABV

Evil Haze Factory – 8.7% ABV
Double India Pale Ale brewed with Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin, El Dorado + Lotus hops.
Lime in the Coconut – 4% ABV
Meet our Berliner Weisse-style ale with lime, coconut and milk sugar. It’s a hybrid of bright lime acidity and creamy coconut sweetness that will make your living room, backyard, or the taproom feel just as good as any Tahitian beach would. PB&J Sour
Summer Side Hustle
Sour wheat ale brewed with Strawberry & Pink Lemonade Syrup.
Tropical Milkshake
Double IPA brewed with Mango, Pineapple, Passion Fruit, Guava, vanilla, milk sugar and Citra, Rakau, Lemondrop and Sabro hops
Ambitions – 6.2% ABV
Fruited smoothie sour with pineapple, cherry & lime. This beer is very cherry and pineapple forward with hints of lime on the finish.
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!
