Field Day and North Liberty Brew Up Partnership to Support Centennial Park

"We wanted to brew something special for the park," says Alec Travis of Field Day Brewing in North Liberty, Iowa.

"So we brewed this beer to have lemon, melon, and floral notes."

The pilsner, dry-hopped with Centennial hops, is now on tap at the brewery, and all of its proceeds are going to help build a park there.

The Community Foundation of Johnson County is leading a $3.5 million campaign to build Centennial Park, which will include an indoor event space, outdoor amphitheater, restrooms, and plaza.

"When we heard about the Centennial Park project, we knew there was a space for us to be helpful as the home for the campaign fund," says Community Foundation of Johnson County President and CEO Shelly Maharry.

"We love creativity and Field Day has created such a fun avenue for people to give back through this partnership with the City."

The first phase of the project is scheduled to break ground in 2024, with future phases including a splash pad, wheelchair-accessible playground units, additional restrooms, an open-air pavilion, and honor garden.

Field Day Brewing is also donating $1 for every pint sold in the taproom or 4-pack of beer to the campaign, with the goal of reaching $50,000.
