BREWING IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IA SINCE 1996
It's it's own thing! Served in pints (6.00) and 25oz mugs (7.00)
The Bees Knees is brewed with a small amount of caramel malts for color and honey malt for flavor, along with just enough hops to balance out the sweetness of the honey that we add in the boil. We use 25 lbs of locally produced Wild Flower honey in every batch. It is smooth, sweet and our most popular beer.
Malt: 2 Row, Carapils, Honey Malt, Crystal Malt
Hops: Warrior, Crystal
25 lbs of Iowa Wildflower honey at the end of the boil.
Yeast: American Ale
American Amber Ale, served in pints (6.00) and 25oz mugs (7.00)
Our take on an American Amber Ale blends Pale, Crystal, Munich, and Chocolate malts to for a malt backbone that supports a hefty dose of Cascade and Columbus hops. It's malty, hoppy, and amazingly drinkable.
Malt: 2 Row, Victory, Crystal, Chocolate, Pale Chocolate, Munich

Extra Special Bitter served in pints (6.00) and 25oz mugs (7.00)
This style is known for its balance and the interplay between malt and hop bitterness. The name can be deceiving as it isn’t that bitter or a beer. A slight caramel sweetness and a rounded toastiness lead to layer upon layer of the pleasant citrus notes you would expect from Cascade hops.
Following fermentation we dry hopped it with some Tettnang to give it a wonderful floral aroma.

Doppelbock served in pints (6.00)
and 25oz mug (7.00)
This style is a bigger and stronger version of the lower-gravity German-Style Bock beers. Originally made by monks in Munich, the Doppelbock beer style is very food-friendly and rich in melanoidins reminiscent of toasted bread. Malty sweetness is dominant but not cloying. Malt character is more reminiscent of fresh and lightly toasted Munich-style malt, more so than caramel or toffee malt.

Malt: Munich, Pils, Roasted Barley
Hops: Nugget
Oatmeal Stout, served in pints (6.00) and 25oz mugs (7.00)
This is a rich and complex beer. We use flaked oats and barley to add a certain "mouth-feel" to the beer, as well as dark crystal malts for some residual sweetness and body. This beer is dark but it's also very approachable for all beer fans. It has flavors of coffee, toffee, and caramel. It's roasty and toasty. Don't be scared! Just try some!
Malt: 2 Row, Flaked Barley, Flaked Wheat, Roasted Barley, Crystal Malts

abv: 4.5 IBU: 24
Big and bold IPA that showcases Australlian grown Galaxy hops.

English Style Brown Ale served in Pints $6 and mugs $7
English Brown ales are characterized by their brown color of course, but also a medium body and dry finish. They also tend to have a slight roasted malt character and some nuttiness. Our version would probably be considered a Northern English Brown Ale because of its slight crispness that comes from the hops and some darker roasted malts. We also used an authentic London Ale yeast that contributes some fruity-ester flavors as well. It’s crisp and low in alcohol. Perfect for enjoying several while watching your favorite football team (which is the Chicago Bears, of course) Bear Down and have one!

American Pale Ale, served in pints (6.00) and 25oz mugs (7.00)
An American style Pale Ale, this beer isn't like its British sisters. Bittered with Centennial hops early and a much heftier portion of Cascade, Columbus, and Centennial hops late to add the citrusy flavor and aroma. We also use a clean fermenting yeast and let the gravity finish low to keep it dry, crisp, and leaving you wanting more.
Malt: 2 Row, Golden Promise, Carastan, Carapils
Hops: Centennial, Cascade, Columbus
Yeast: American Ale
