With 16 tap lines, we always have classics like Fantasy Factory and Midwesty but also one-off options that are exclusive to the taproom.

Happy Silly Time: Hey Judes

Porter - American
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 JUDE!" We love you, Mom!

IPA - Core Beer
Hopheads crusade on a heroic quest for the holy grail of India Pale Ales. The subconscious composes paradisiacal scenes of malty waves crashing on a ripe lupulin landscape cascading hop flavors and aromas in profuse abundance. With humble confidence we offer this brew as fantasy made reality. Balanced in every detail and gushing resinous, exceptional citrus flavors and aromas that collaborate with soft bready notes surrendered from premium English golden malted barley, this beer is a tropical dreamscape. Epic.

Hazy Oat IPA w/ Phantasm
This Oat Ipa is a hazy with a super smooth finish
Slow IPA - Collab w/ Working Draft
We're in a constant state of amusement at the various types of IPAs that seem to keep appearing over the last few years. So if we get the chance to poke fun at it, we're going to, so we're calling this a "Slow IPA". Really it's a German-style Pilsner fermented with a new thiolized lager yeast. At the heart of this collaboration is the fact that Clint at Working Draft brews amazing lagers, and we are pumped about what can happen when you cross one of his beers with our recent yeast experiments.

Radikatz

6.0%

Radikatz reliably reports rediculously rambunctious results, releasing relentlessly reverberative recommendations. Basically, Radikatz is Radikool.

Block Party

Amber Ale
The amber you've always wanted. Crisp and clean, but full of flavor: milk caramel, toasted biscuit, and sweet wheat. A medium-bodied brew that has character yet remains an all-game drinker that always satisfies, never disappoints, and plays well with many types of food. Like Goldilocks- just right.

S'mores Stout
Everything we could get our grubby mitts on went in the brew: chocolate rye and wheat, caramel rye and wheat, toasted buckwheat, blackstrap molasses, baker's honey, milk sugar, cacao nibs from Ghana and Ecuador, and then we even set up a hardwood fire behind the brewery and roasted 14 pounds of marshmallows that made their way to the brew kettle.

Taproom FAQs


Tom Kowalke – Fredrik – Impulsism – For every beer released in the first couple of years of Karben4, Fredrik created a painting to go with the beer. We weren’t packaging at the time, so we loved the idea of having this visual connection to the beer. We would host a party every time we released a beer to show off the new art. We also used the painting as sound panels. We loved the way that we could have different ways for guests to plug into the brand, visually with the paintings, reading the colorful beer descriptions that Ryan wrote, as well as tasting and smelling the beer.


Maybe…Make us an offer!


Yes. We are exploring other taproom locations and hope to maybe someday build a new production facility.


A lot of reasons. Quality of product is a big reason. First, cans keep the beer away from light contamination. That is just not something that bottles can do as efficiently. Glass failure is also a deciding factor. When glass “fails” it is a lot more dangerous than when aluminum fails. Cans are also easier to package and store, more efficient spatially, and are more efficient in recycling. Finally, we have made the move to a more automated packaging process and simply didn’t have the room to install a packaging line for both cans and bottles.


After almost dying of “humane methane” (farts) we decided that shelling thousands of eggs wasn’t worth it anymore. We’ll let those continue to be holiday treats.
