Okoboji! Sweet sweet west okoboji beer water
The O stands for Okoboji if that helps. You can get it at places that carry local brews. I've seen it at restaurants before and Iowa Craft Brew tents. Most easily you can get it at Hy-Vee. Quite the conundrum if you are boycotting Hy-Vee.
Their bus was in the haunted forest last year. We parked next to them and they gave us a few of their brews. My fav is still the Coco Stout.
People throw around the word boycott and it gets everyone worked up. I don’t view it as a boycott at all. It’s just making a purchase. Exile decided to back Iowa and not ISU. That’s their right. But it’s also my right as a consumer to choose a 6 pack from a different brewery. Won’t be the only factor in buying beer, but it’s probably enough to make me choose beer from somewhere else.
Boycott sounds like people are picketing outside of the brewery. Personally, I’m not upset or anything, I’m just going to buy one of the other 50 beers on the shelf. They made their marketing decision based on what they felt was important, I make my purchasing decision based on what I feel is important. Kind of how the free market works.

Figured that out… my in laws have a place up on the lakes up there so go up a couple times a year.
The West O 6Foot6 IPA is damn tasty, a nice surprise it was recently $5/sixer at Dirty John's.
What sort of promotional stuff is Exile doing with Iowa? I missed that....

I am just glad that Backpocket didn't partner with Swarm as I am pumped for their location in CR. Although I am sure they were one that declined to partner with We Will but I understand that.
Will give the AD some more credit. With the events they do in okoboji and other areas like that, they have decided to try to grab the people west of 35 and keep a slow immersion into the stuff north of 20 and up to 380 also.
I don’t hold it against a company for not partnering if they play Switzerland and just go neutral.
Ideally a good cyclone fan will boycott any business that sells any Hawkeye apparel or donates to their sports programs.
Glad we are getting a We Will beer, but a bit bummed it is West O. I have never seen any of their product out here on the east coast of the state.
I have not had much West O but I know they are known for their Stout.
It would be cool to have the We Will beer was a seasonal series just to be different from the TOE.

I'll have to look again to be sure, but I'm almost 100% certain I have never seen it in Dubuque anywhere.
Edited to add that for the record, I still have yet to see the Swarm collective's beer anywhere in Dubuque either.
That's not what we are talking about here with West O? I haven't had a chance to listen to the podcast yet.
Guessing they all said no.
