About Time

A New Identity for Full Time IPA

At Beau’s, our purpose is to elevate the human spirit.

In a rebranding effort for our Full Time IPA, we are changing its name and identity to About Time IPA. The can artwork will feature the name and portrait of a local champion of social justice who has overcome adversity and is now working to make the world a better place.

This person could be you!

Fans of the great taste of our IPA can rest assured: About Time IPA will have the same recipe and hop-tastic awesomeness as our Full Time IPA.
