Cowtown? Damn straight

Elevator Brewing Company believes it's time Columbus started embracing its reputation as a "Cowtown." (Look it up on Wikipedia - we're first on the list!)

This summer, we're unleashing our aptly-named Heiferweizen, inspired by the lovely Maudine Ormsby. Indulge us as we take you back to the fall of 1926, when Maudine was nominated for Homecoming Queen by the Ohio State University College of Agriculture.

Did we mention Maudine was a Holstein cow?

Due to voting irregularities, Ms. Ormsby won the vote and was crowned the 1926 OSU Homecoming Queen. She was featured during the parade, but unceremoniously left in the barn during the dance.

So raise a bottle of Heiferweizen in Maudine's honor. This unfiltered German-style wheat beer makes an impression with a stimulating burst of clove & banana essence, courtesy of hefeweizen yeast.

To Maudine!
