What's On Tap

Year Round Flagships

K4 - American IPA
Hopheads crusade on a heroic quest for the holy grail of India Pale Ales. The subconscious composes paradisiacal scenes of malty waves crashing on a ripe lupulin landscape cascading hop flavors and aromas in profuse abundance. With humble confidence we offer this brew as fantasy made reality. Balanced in every detail and gushing resinous, exceptional citrus flavors and aromas that collaborate with soft bready notes surrendered from premium English golden malted barley, this beer is a tropical dreamscape. Epic.

This Beer Is Bee-Nananas

6.8%
K4 Project - Hefeweizen - portion of the proceeds go to Clean Lakes Alliance
A collaboration with Honeybee Cannabis! There’s nothing quite like a German-style wheat beer in March... At 6.8% ABV, it’s more like a Honey Hefe Malt Liquor – but with its soft body and gentle fruity/spicy flavors, you wouldn’t have known it was a strong beer if we hadn't told you.

Pom Smack

6.9%
K4 - Pomegranate Sour
Despite its name implying that this beer will beat you over the head with fruit, both the pomegranate and the sourness of this beer were applied with a soft touch. In other words, don’t expect the kind of trendy sludge that one might make in a blender with vodka instead of calling it ‘beer’ to avoid spirits taxes and charging $20 a four-pack. This kinder, gentler sour ale is meant to be enjoyed on the patio with a healthy dose of sunshine.

Priest Prophet & King (2024)

9.7%
K4 - 11 Year Anniversary Special Release - Barrel Aged Barleywine
Welcome to this year's offering of Priest Prophet & King. The barrels used for this batch are: rum, cinnamon whiskey, maple syrup, grand Marnier, port wine, and rye whiskey Though the blend creates a vintage experience, the familiar promise of a lavishly malty barley wine is held true.

2022 Terror of Demons

8.3%
K4 - bourbon barrel aged Russian Imperial Stout
Lying dormant in rye whiskey barrels for the past year, Terror of Demons emerges from its cocoon to new life. Packed to the brim with the dark chocolate, dried fruit, cocoa and roasty character indicative of the style, then wrapped in a boozy velvet blanket of barrel goodness full of vanilla and caramel, this brew is an exquisite treasure worth seeking. Take heart, have hope, and let the Terror of Demons join your life's beautiful adventure!

Tripel Nova

IPA - New England / Hazy
Radikatz reliably reports rediculously rambunctious results, releasing relentlessly reverberative recommendations. Basically, Radikatz is Radikool.

Lady Luck

7.5%
K4 Malt Bomb - Dark Red Ale
Brewed as an interpretation of Bordeaux wine translated into beer, this is more than just a beer to satisfy and soothe - it’s an emotional experience. Deepest ruby red and filled with a symphony of malt flavors including caramel, toffee, raisins, and currants that finish with a simple hint of roast and chocolate tones lingering like a half-remembered dream. This gentle giant, balanced with English hops, dominates all senses without destroying the palate. Sexy as hell.
K4 - Malt Bomb - Porter
As the weather gets colder, we thought it would be a good time to turn our packaging manager loose on our pilot brewing system and let him brew what he loves: the darkest of dark beers – but without outrageous amounts of alcohol, or artificial flavors meant to taste like a pastry chef quitting their job in a blaze of glory. Instead, we reached back in time and cherry-picked what we thought would add a nice layer of flavor to a modern Porter: brown malt. This beer will be heavy on the roast, but light on the sweetness and just right on the alcohol at 5.3%.

Bedlam!

6.2%
Ale Asylum - Belgian IPA
A chaotic blend of Citra hops and Belgian-style yeast give this Belgian IPA aromas of passion fruit, a bright hop flavor and a plush finish.

Ambergeddon

6.8%
Ale Asylum - Red Amber
Our West Coast-style Amber is aggressively hopped, with a strong malt backbone and a mild hop bitterness in the finish.

Sticky McDoogle

Taproom FAQs


Tom Kowalke – Fredrik – Impulsism – For every beer released in the first couple of years of Karben4, Fredrik created a painting to go with the beer. We weren’t packaging at the time, so we loved the idea of having this visual connection to the beer. We would host a party every time we released a beer to show off the new art. We also used the painting as sound panels. We loved the way that we could have different ways for guests to plug into the brand, visually with the paintings, reading the colorful beer descriptions that Ryan wrote, as well as tasting and smelling the beer.


Maybe…Make us an offer!


Yes. We are exploring other taproom locations and hope to maybe someday build a new production facility.


A lot of reasons. Quality of product is a big reason. First, cans keep the beer away from light contamination. That is just not something that bottles can do as efficiently. Glass failure is also a deciding factor. When glass “fails” it is a lot more dangerous than when aluminum fails. Cans are also easier to package and store, more efficient spatially, and are more efficient in recycling. Finally, we have made the move to a more automated packaging process and simply didn’t have the room to install a packaging line for both cans and bottles.


After almost dying of “humane methane” (farts) we decided that shelling thousands of eggs wasn’t worth it anymore. We’ll let those continue to be holiday treats.
