Iron Key Brewing Company's seasonal Oktoberfest lager, Märzen Mayhem, is officially out on parole and hitting taps this week. Malty, smooth, and dangerously easy to love — this one’s brewed to honor five years of hard (and happy) labor behind bars.

And don’t forget — the first official pours happen right here at home during our 5-Year Anniversary Bash this Saturday, August 23rd. A full day of music, food, vendors, dogs, and of course… beer worth serving time for.
