Soundboard® Lo-Cal Hazy IPA
Clean. Crips. Pale. 5.0% ABV
Named after our hometown, this light-bodied lager celebrates the simplicity of rural Central Illinois, where the soil is rich, air is clean and crops are abundant. Brilliantly pale in color, this beer exhibits a pronounced spicy, floral nose with a soft bready character. Flavors of sweet malt with earthy, floral hops come to the front before finishing crisp and dry, for a beer that is anything but normal.

Leipzig-Style Gose Ale 5.2% ABV
We threw caution to the wind with our interpretation of a Leipzig-style Gose, featuring complex aromas and acidic flavors contributed by indigenous wild yeast and lactic fermentation. Lemon, lime and other citrus-like qualities are balanced by the spicy character of coriander and a mineral-mouthfeel from French sea salt, resulting in a refreshing beer that was worth the risk.

Amra® Mango IPA
Juicy. Fruity. Hoppy. 6.9% ABV
'Amra' (Sanskrit for Mango) intertwines the citrusy hop characters of a west coast-style IPA with the fruitiness of juicy mangos, resulting in an elaborate and psychedelic tapestry of flavors that were absolutely destined for each other in this beer.

Long-term keg rentals are available for a personal draft system (kegerator) but must be coordinated during pick up and returned within 90 days.
When can I pick up a reserved keg or return a previously used keg to the brewery?
Any time during The Beer Hall's normal opening hours of operation. Please note all keg sales & returns cease at 10 pm (or earlier) per Town of Normal code.
How & when should I tap the keg?
Our team would be happy to show you how to tap the keg when you pick it up. While you may want to immediately tap the keg, it is best to wait for it to cool down. We recommend allowing the keg to sit in your kegerator for about 24 hours (or on ice for an hour or two for party kegs), with the temperature as close to 38 degrees as possible. This will ensure the beer in the keg is at the appropriate temperature for dispensing. Keep this in mind and order your keg far enough ahead of time to account for the recommended acclimation time. In addition, letting the keg sit for a while allows it to settle down. The transportation process will shake up a keg, no matter how careful your drive, and this can create foaming issues. Think of a keg like a giant can of beer: if you shake it around and open it right away, you will have foamy beer.
When operating a manual pump-style tap, please remember to "not over-pump." Once connected to a pump tap, most kegs just need a couple of pumps after the faucet is opened to get a nice steady beer flow...then stop pumping, so the beer doesn't get over-aerated and foamy. Likewise, when using a CO2 tank (as in the case of a kegerator system) instead of a hand pump, be careful not to over-carbonate the beer, which would also result in foaming issues.
How long will "tapped" beer keep before it loses quality?
If you are dispensing the beer with CO2 and the keg is kept cold (38 degrees), a keg will last approximately three months. If you are dispensing the beer with a manual pump-style tap, the beer will stay fresh for approximately twelve hours.
