This “winter warmer” brew is named in honor of the Weather Beacon, a 500-foot tower in the downtown Des Moines skyline from 1960 to 2012. The beacon’s light provided an instant forecast:

"Weather Beacon red, warmer weather ahead.
Weather Beacon white, colder weather in sight.
Weather Beacon green, no change in weather foreseen.
Weather Beacon flashing night or day, precipitation is on the way.”

A bigger, bolder version our Oktoberfest beer, Weather Beacon Red is a rich, complex, medium-toasted malty lager with a residual sweetness that comes from the addition of locally sourced Iowa honey. While the lights on the tower have gone cold, a glass of our Weather Beacon Red will always keep you warm.

Cans poured into pint glass on a very merry Christmas Eve. Decent blend between red and marzen.
