🥧 NEW BEER RELEASE - Happy Silly Time: Hey Judes Pecan Pie Porter 🥧

Who doesn't like the feeling of mom's warm pecan pie this time of year? We sure do and we made a beer to prove it.

See, when there is a generational pecan pie recipe producing pies of such distinct quality that you have no choice but to claim pecan pie as your forever birthday cake, eventually homage must be paid to the pie and the incredibly special "Pie-per" preserving the tradition: Momma Judy. When her husband loves a certain British rock band, "Hey Judes" writes itself. So people of the world, join us in raising a glass of pecan pie in honor of a most wonderful person, and help us with the chorus, "Nana na naaaaa, HEY JUDES!" We love you, Mom!

Come cut yourself a slice tomorrow when we pull this fresh out of the oven. Get a FREE SLICE of pecan pie when you order a draft pour of Hey Judes, while supplies last.

Yesterday our very own Quality Manager Joe Walts gave a presentation at the WI Guild’s Annual Conference on predicting brewhouse efficiency for recipe formulation and on-the-fly adjustments. Joe brings years of experience to our team from his time at Ale Asylum and beyond. We’re glad to have him at K4 and it was great to watch him share his knowledge with conference attendees!

NOW AVAILABLE - Disaster Artist Hazy IPA with Phantasm

Back by popular demand, and now available in cans. Disaster Artist is a hazy oat IPA featuring Phantasm powder and a thiolized yeast strain for that extra kick of hop aroma and flavor. It went so fast the last time we released it that we knew we had to make a much larger batch. And the best part is you can enjoy it at home now! Get over here and grab some cans for yourself before it's gone again.

Got a furry companion on your list this year? We've got just the thing for them this holiday season.

Get some K4 merch pawfect for your four-legged best friend. We've got treats, bandanas, and even collars with a bottle opener, perfect for those long walks to the brewery. Honestly these would even look great in that annual holiday card we know you haven't taken yet.

We aren’t superstitious, but we are a little stitious, and we would never miss out on a party like this.

Don’t forget, we’ve got the greatest brewing party of our lifetime on Friday. Join us to roast marshmallows that will go directly into our Threat Level Midnight S’mores Stout, our favorite holiday tradition. Not to mention we’ll have Paddy’s Patties on site incase you work up an appetite.

Party starts at 2:00 p.m. so get here early! You aren’t going to want to miss out.

Happy Thanksgiving folks! 🦃🦃🦃

Our brewers had a few too many Not Your Aunties Pumpkin Pies and brewed something SPECIAL for the holiday.

Introducing our limited edition brew Thanksgiving Leftovers. Straight out of your family gathering, we’ve brewed this beer to pack the flavor of your post-Thanksgiving take home container in a glass. You’ll taste flavors of Turkey, Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, and Stuffing all complimented with a hint of your sister-in-laws burnt green bean casserole. It might not taste amazing but it sure tastes great the day after!

Only available in the K4 Taproom on Thanksgiving Day! (Did we mention we’re closed?)
