Current Menu  

We serve beer in our taproom in pints, half pints, or 5-ounce taster glasses.  Flights are available in sets of four 5-ounce tasters.  To-go beer options (for most of our beers) are growlers (64 ounces) and crowlers (32 ounces).  We will fill growlers that are brought in, but only if they're clean.

Beer

Honey Kolsch - 5.5% abv - 11 ibu

This gold-tinted, smooth, full-flavored ale is made with 50 lbs of wildflower honey from our bartender Tim Huey’s hives in Nora Springs. Sweet honey balances the classic Kolsch flavors of pilsner malt and subtle fruitiness provided by German-style yeast.

American Wheat - 4.5% abv - 10 ibu
This crisp, clean, refreshing ale shows off the subtle flavor of the mighty wheat kernel by using clean-fermenting American Ale yeast and light hopping schedule, allowing the classic wheat flavor to pop through.

Robust Porter - 6.3% abv - 23 ibu
Five specialty malts come together in this dark ale to create a roasty, toasty, flavor that reminds you of coffee, caramel, and dark chocolate.

West Coast IPA - 6.1% abv - 61 ibu
Oh baby, this hop-monster showcases an explosive aroma of Centennial, Chinook, and Polaris hops to make a fruity, resiny, dank beer, all balanced by the crisp bittering of Columbus hops.

Scottish Ale - 5.1% abv - 17 ibu
A smooth red beer that flaunts two caramel malts with a guest appearance by a few other specialty malts to make a big, sweet, satisfying taste.

Rongorongo NEIPA  - 6.7% abv - 31 ibu

This hazy juice-bomb of a beer assaults your taste buds with tropical fruit flavors, coming from two massive dry hop additions of Mosaic, Sultana, and Idaho 7 hops.  Low bitterness.

Hibiscus Saison - 4.3% abv - 29 ibu

Our Hibiscus Saison is back and has been promoted to flagship status!  That means your favorite hot pink farmhouse ale will be here year round!  Fun fact:  ten pounds of dried Egyptian hibiscus flowers team up with intensely-flavorful Belgian yeast to create this floral, slightly fruity Instagram-ready stunner. Snappy, dry finish.

Citra Doodad - 4.7% -  30 ibu

Our latest doodad features an opening act of tropical Talus and piney Cascade hops, followed up by the rock-star headliner of the big citrus of Citra hops. Pilsner malt and roasted oats sing back-up, to create a beautiful symphony of flavor.

Raspberry Watermelon Sour - 3.6% abv - 18 ibu

First you taste raspberry, and then it all blends into a ripe watermelon finish. Those big fruity flavors are balanced out by a sharp acidity that all you sour patch people love.  Swing by today and try it out! 

Keller Pils - 4.4% abv - 30 ibu

Our Keller Pils is a golden-hued stunner. German Saaz hops lend a floral, slightly spicy note, which is balanced by a bready wallop created by floor-malted Bohemian Pilsner malt. Classic German lager yeast blends those flavors seamlessly to build a beer that’s equal parts flavorful and refreshing. This is a staff favorite.

Bank Demon Russian Imperial Stout - 9.9% abv - 60 ibu

In honor of our 8th anniversary, this month is the annual awakening of the Bank Demon!  Hefty loads of dark roasted malts were used to create this fiercely flavorful Russian Imperial Stout. Sipping on this cold-weather treat will remind you of espresso, cocoa, and a hint of dried fruit.  Satisfying bittersweet finish. We named this one after a local landmark that isn't around anymore - a spooky image in the marble wall of a bank that used to be a little west of downtown.

Smoked Barrel Bank Demon Russian Imperial Stout - 12% abv - 60 ibu

We are busting out a rare vintage keg of our 2020 vintage of this special brew.  To make the Smoked Barrel Bank Demon, we let our Bank Demon Russian Imperial Stout rest for 24 months in barrels that previously held Hickory Smoked Bourbon. After the 2-year slumber, it came out with a thick, chewy body and big notes of dark chocolate, raison, molasses, and a delicate smoky background.  Because we have so little of this, we'll just do taproom pours.  No to-go sales. 

NEW: Apple Brandy Autumn Bock - 8.5% abv - 18 ibu

Kind of like an apple pie you can drink! We brewed a stronger version of our perennial powerhouse Autumn Bock, then let it sleep in fresh Ex-Bourbon Apple Brandy barrels for 7 months. Each sip packs a wallop of apple, brandy, fall spices, and nutty, molasses-y maltiness. This is our 2020 vintage, aged to perfection. Very limited amount. Taproom sales only, no crowlers/growlers. 

Cider

Wilson's Orchard Cherry Crush  
A very cherry hard cider
One of the fruit world’s unsung heroes is the humble tart cherry. Not a stand-alone showboat, they instead combine with other foods to bring magic to all kinds of fine dining. Wilson’s cherry crush cider mixes the rich flavors of tart cherries with the mildly sweet background of hard apple cider. Just enough cherry to think summer, just enough hard apple cider to keep it interesting glass after glass.  Alc 4.5% by vol

Wilson's Orchard Honeycrisp
A slightly sweet hard cider
At Wilson’s Orchard, they grow over 100 varieties of apples. The humble Honeycrisp is a favorite. With enough tang to keep it interesting and a hint of sweet to keep it going down smooth, this cider is a delightful sipper.  Alc 5.2% by vol
