worth noting: this does NOT help support WeWill collective

but it does help the Jack Trice Foundation which is a worthy cause

Just mentioned this in another post I saw some of this on the shelf at the store this morning. Glad that someone took it over with Peace Tree closing. Now someone just needs to bring back the Blonde Fatale and I'll be good!

I've said it before, any beer that supports an ISU cause whether that is We Will, ISU Athletics, or Jack Trice foundation is all going to support ISU in a good way so it's silly if anyone cares or won't buy 1 or the other because of where the money goes to. I personally just want to drink a good beer. Ames Lager is my least favorite of what has come out so far but my wife likes it so we usually have some on hand. I'm glad West O came out with another type of beer, variety is good. Now if I can just find some on the shelf somewhere soon to try the blood orange!

Pretty sure you'll find it in the local HyVee/Fareway. Urbandale is regularly in stock nowadays.

The Johnston HyVee and Fareway usually have it. Same with the Urbandale ones.

It's a little tougher if you're a date checker, but that's not as important on these light lagers as say an IPA.

Living out of state I have kind of lost track of all of the beers and spirits that are ISU themed and/or supporting We Will, Jack Trice Foundation, or ISU Athletics. Is there a comprehensive up to date list somwhere with name, producer and associated charity?

I have only bought and tried Ames Lager and Forever True thus far. I want to eventually try them all...

I have this habit of buying more Ames Lager than we need. ;);)

So I will be bringing several cases to the Big 12 Championship Game for those of you who aren't in Iowa but would like to have a sixer or even a case.

I'm planning to be at the Texas Live event on Friday afternoon and tailgating in Lot 12 on Saturday morning. Brent, Krystal, or Chris can put you in touch with me if you want some.

Any of these things in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area? I have yet to ever come across a pack.

Not all heroes wear capes. Hope some non-Iowa Cyclones hit him up.

Anyone try that hilton magic blonde ale beer? I've seen it while getting Ames Lager. The can looks sweet but not sure I'd like it.

Are there any beers other than Ames Lager that help the collective? I just don’t like the taste. It did help me find their West-O Cocoa Stout which is excellent, but I would like to find one that directly helps the collective. Thanks.

If you support WestO, you are indirectly supporting their support of We Will. Just stick with the Cocoa Stout if you like it.

They also have Blood Round which supports ISU Wrestling.
