Narrowing things down for our tailgate beer with Barn Town

[ChrisMWilliams]

Ok team. I've gone through the poll results from on the forums and also from social media and narrowed things down. Let's do another round of voting.

Also, please reply with SPECIFICS as to what you would like to have. Flavors. Colors. Types. Etc. What I'm going to do is take what I think are the 3-4 most popular ideas to Barn Town and let them help decide based off of what they think they could make the best.

I'm also asking fo you to NAME THE BEER. Remember, whatever we name it will have to go around Iowa State's trademark laws so nothing with Cyclone in it or Iowa State or anything like that. Let's get fun and creative.

Any artists out there? We are also able to draw up our own label for it as well.

The plan is to have a huge party and tap this on Aug. 18.

not an ipa

I'll get things started.

I would either go with the light IPA or the wheat with a combo of strawberry and raspberry to give it a reddish color that I think would be appropriate.

Why are the last two not "drinkable". Are they going to be disgusting? Because I think that will skew my answer

Edit: Completely missed the party part. Hmm, a Saturday at Barn Town near some friends. Might have to get this on the calendar and inform some friends we need a coach..

A light raspberry wheat with a light brown color. Sticking with the name CF's Nut Cup

I'd like a light IPA or pale with Citra/mosaic or some other fruity/citrus hops. Add some color with blood orange while staying with the tropical profile. Most importantly, this is what Barn Town does at a world class level.

Every pilsner ever created has tasted the same- Pilsner malt and bittering hops. Red ales also get their color from massive amounts of malt- not exactly Barn Towns strength and really tough to execute well.

My main worry was that this would be some novelty beer that we just slapped a label on to call it CF's beer. After listening to the podcast I don't think that CW or Pete will let that happen.

Cheers!

red rye (pale or not) ale

Just let Fred decide and call it Hoibeer. I chose Red Ale but any of them would be fine w/ me.

1- Red ale
2- Wheat+fruity
3- Light IPA + fruity
4. Pils

Honestly i could probably like any of the first 3... theres a lot of IPAs out there right now so i was kind of hoping for something different. Going with a pils just seems boring.

I’m down for a raspberry wheat.

Fanatics Finest.

Halftime's Best Light.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Light IPA with apple notes and single hopped with Galaxy hops for a little spice.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Pilsners are lighter beers. Would a “light pilsner” be lighter than a normal pils or was that just a descriptor?

 

[HoraceGrant]

A subtle NEIPA with hints of orange peel and raspberry. We can call it "Weathering the Storm"

 

[Al_4_State]

Red ales just aren't a good call for this given the brewery, the time of year, etc. The folks voting for them are going to create the beer equivalent of the new uniforms.

I also think everyone should go to Barntown and taste their IPA’s and NEIPA.
