At K4 we take our hops very seriously. Almost like it's our jobs or something. Recently, some of the K4 production team headed out to @hollingberyandsonhops, @yakimachief, and @hopsteiner in Yakima, WA for hop selection. The hops they chose will start appearing in beers in a few months.

We are udder-ly excited to kick off DAY ONE of our Moos and Brews event with the @riverpantry, @lifeatm3 and @filament_ag.

We're popping up at M3 (828 John Nolen Dr) to serve up the brews, including our new K4 project beer Moo Moo Brew Brew. Not to mention we'll have an appearance from Alice in Dairyland, live music from The Lilies of the Midwest, a goat petting zoo and plenty of fun for all members of your herd.

A portion of the proceeds from the event and 10% of proceeds from every Moo Moo Brew Brew sold will go right back to the River Food Pantry to assist them in buying Wisconsin dairy products for families in need right in Dane County. In addition, each person who purchases a Moo Moo Brew Brew four-pack or makes a donation to the River Food Pantry will receive a can from our NEW Fantasy Factory variety pack. 👀

Wings. Beer. Packers. Set... HIKE! Watching the game at home is lame. Get in here and let us cook for you and serve you beer.

Wingz N Thingz will be taking over our kitchen and slinging the best game day food this side of the gridiron. AND... every time you buy a pint you'll get a spin on our sur-PRIZE wheel full of amazing goodies including free pours, glassware, and merch.

What more could you ask for? Let's cheer on the @packers win against the Patriots together!

Our second K4 Project release is very near and dear to our hearts. Thanks for the Mammaries. In honor of breast cancer awareness month, we pulled out all the hype stops for this beer – @pinkbootssociety Blend hops, thiolized Helio Gazer yeast, double dry hopping, Phantasm powder (@phantasm.nz) – and added two additions of hibiscus for a subtle tartness and a not-so-subtle pink color.

Brewed by Aly, our taproom manager and a breast cancer survivor, the real twist is that the beer is only 4.2% ABV. That’s not easy to pull off with a hazy IPA, but anything is possible at Karben4. Proceeds from each beer sold will go to UW Carbone Cancer Center.

Our first K4 Project release this week is One in Four, an IPA brewed as part of the national One In Four brewing initiative from @thirdspacebrewing to help bring awareness to the reality of domestic abuse.

🟩 One in four women and one in nine men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.
🟩 20,000 phone calls are placed daily to domestic violence hotlines nationwide.
🟩 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner.

A portion of each can/pint of One in Four goes to support Domestic Abuse Intervention Services @daisofdaneco. We'll have this for sale in the taproom of course, and stay tuned for more info regarding where else you can find this release.

💚🤍💚Giving back to our community is something we take pride in. That's why we established the K4 Project.

Each brew we release under the K4 Project umbrella is in partnership with a local organization that's doing good right in our own backyard. Every pint, can, and 4-pack sold benefits an important cause. We've got three K4 project beer releases coming this week so stay tuned.💚🤍💚
