Excel Showcase & Partial Tap Takeover | Facebook

Friday night, starting at 7pm, the FTB will showcase one of our favorite new breweries in the area: EXCEL. Hailing from Breese, IL, the Excel Bottling Company has produced iconic American cane sugar sodas since 1936. In 2012, they decided to try their hand at America’s other favorite bubbly beverage, beer! On Friday, we will have the pleasure of pouring three draught beers and one cask ale—and for designated drivers, three Excel sodas.

Draughts:
Böse Roggen—The “evil rye” in the name refers to the rye malt added to spice up this German style black lager, aka schwarzbier
Flash Bang—American wheat beer dry-hopped with Amarillo hops
Lefty’s Lager—True Bavarian-style lager, this crisp, clean Helles is named for Excel’s co-founder, Edward “Lefty” Meier
Cask:
Eastside IPA with extra Citra hops and pineapple sage added to the cask
Sodas:
Million Dollar Orange
Rummy (grapefruit)
Ski (lemon-orange)
