CŌZY

Style: Winter Lager

ABV: 5.6%

Ingredients: Mix of Pilsner, 2-Row and Melandoidin Malts, Blackberry Puree, Cascade Hops

Description: A crisp lager brewed with Kolsch yeast (perhaps technically an Ale), Cōzy first debuted as the Official Beer of Winter Games in 2019. "Canned for the Games!"

This easy drinking beer gets its purple hue, light aroma, and flavor from organic blackberry puree added after the fermentation process. Designed as a crushable winter lager, Cōzy can be found across Lakes Area bars and restaurants from mid-December on thru the Winter Games, in partnership with the Iowa Great Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce.

See you on the ice!
