I was going to keep it quiet till tomorrow but the brewery is BarnTown. I'm glad you guys are so excited about this. I am too. You guys are all going to have a say in the name/style and we're going to tap it at our annual kickoff party this year. More details coming!

For the broadest appeal you should probably go with a 1. lager (similar to Spotted Cow), 2. wheat (similar to Dinky Wheat), or 3. a hazy citrus laden IPA (similar to take your pick),

If it is only one beer you almost have to go with a fizzy yellow piss beer akin to Budweiser, Coor, busch, pbr etc. That is what will be palatable to the masses. If you choose something with bold flavor (porter, sour, ipa, stout) you can only expect a small percentage of people to like it. Piss beer is what America drinks. I do to, amongst a few ipa's.

There's plenty of middle ground there between 'piss beer' and 'beers that will turn off a large segment no matter what'.

A good red or wheat beer could fit in there.

I like the idea of a red ale. Drinkable and somewhat related to ISU colors. Any clever names for it involving Jack Trice would be cool.
