Olde 17 | Irish-style Stout

The official beer of the Cedar Rapids St. Patrick’s Day Parade Society (SaPaDaPaSo) and 2023 World Beer Cup Silver Medal Winner. This is the classic pub stout you know and love. Roasty, with hints of dark chocolate, nuttiness, and a rich, creamy mouthfeel. Sláinte!

The Full English | Baltic Porter

A strong, dark lager that gained fame when introduced to London’s working class. Akin to an imperial stout; an extended lagering period smooths out this big beer, and the results are beautiful.

AVAILABLE 1/13

Blind Love | IPA w/Idaho 7, Nelson Sauvin, Nectaron, Citra

Named after a favorite Tom Waits song. The only kind of love is stone blind love…and love of hoppy beers.
