Fly Over Helles Lager
“Helles” simply refers to the fact that something is “pale in color” as these beers are often golden to a very light yellow. The German-style helles lager is a bit rounder or fuller-bodied than typical light lager and pilsners. This lager is the answer to the search for a clean, crisp beer. Unlike the traditional pilsner, the Helles underplays the noble hop additions, allowing the malt character to really break through with a bready softness that finishes clean and crisp.
4.80% ABV || 15 IBU
Mittelwesten Kolsch
Clean and crisp, yet consists of a slightly rounded mouthfeel and flavor from the malt. Like the traditional Kolsch the Mittelwesten is infused with medium noble hop aroma and character making this an easy beer to enjoy.
5.25% ABV || 23 IBU
Jeffe-Weizen Hefeweizen
Simple in make up: almost indictable amounts of German noble hops, and a simple grain bill of pale, wheat and pilsner malts. The banana-clove character created in this beer is the result of a well known Munich yeast and is the bridge that mends the characteristically high carbonation and soft wheat mouthfeel together. This beer is delicious - full stop.
5.00% ABV || 17 IBU
Millwright Blonde Lager
A nod to the traditional German Kellerbier — literally “cellar beer” — cold-conditioned and served with its natural softness intact. Unfiltered with a light haze, it’s deeply drinkable, built around a gentle malt character that recalls fresh bread crust, subtle honeyed grain, and a quiet touch of toast. Fermented cool with a traditional Bavarian yeast, it finishes clean yet expressive, carrying a faint rustic edge that feels freshly drawn from the cellar. Unhurried, softly textured, and quietly complex, this is a Kellerbier made for long conversations and slow appreciation.
5.10% ABV || 20 IBU
Liberation of KCBC Mexican Lager
The Mexican Style lager is a cross between a Vienna and Pilsner lager brewed with malts they brought with them plus yeasts and other ingredients harvested in Mexico. Our Liberation, like many of the best Mexican Style lagers, is crisp, clean, and pale. It offers low bitterness crafted from traditional malts found in Vienna and Pilsner lagers fused with corn to produce a lager that is hard to put down.
5.25% ABV || 15 IBU
Bison's Jaw Kotbusser
Brewed with floor malted old world Pilsner and wheat, layered with oats, honey malt and molasses to add a bit of complexity. The unique puzzle of the Bison’s Jaw is brought to completion with German noble hops and an old world European yeast delivering a slight herbaceous-tart undertone, and floral-lemon bouquet of aroma.
6.25% ABV || 22 IBU
Busted Spoke IPL
The IPL is a twist to the American Cream Ale. It’s light, refreshing and has the beautiful aroma of an IPA minus the bitterness. The Busted Spoke is the exact same recipe as the Flint River Ale, with a slightly different fermentation process. Rather than fermenting warm, we fermented this beer like a lager for two months. We allowed it to rise to the mid-60’s and dry hopped it for 10 days, before putting it through an additional lagering phase. This allowed us to achieve the clean, crisp flavor plus the perfect combination of citrus-pine aroma without the bitterness. If you are looking for that perfect beer to finish off an exhausting bike ride stretching across the entire state of Iowa, look no further than our new refreshing Busted Spoke.
5.25% ABV || 44 IBU
Prairie Standard Dunkel
The German-style Dunkel, is crafted with roasted, pilsner, Munich, and chocolate malts. This concoction of multiple malts, results in a malt forward flavor profile, accompanied with bread or biscuit-like features. However, this beer is both clean and crisp and does not offer an overly sweet impression.
