EAA turned 70 this year! One of the many ways we’re celebrating is by introducing an official commemorative beer, brewed just for us by the historic Stone Arch Brewpub just up the road in Appleton, Wisconsin. The signature brew was chosen after multiple rounds of blind taste tests by EAA members and staff. The 7 can collection will be available at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2023 at Red One Market Central, Red One Market West and Red One Market North.
The beer will be available in seven different highly-collectible cans, each featuring a key piece of EAA and our 70-year history. We’ll unveil the unique and vibrant designs for each can individually, one each week between now and AirVenture.
Thank you for helping EAA celebrate 70 years of dreamers and doers!
In collaboration with Stone Arch Brewpub and with the votes cast by those who attended EAA’s inaugural Flight at the Museum fundraiser, the Kölsch has been selected as the beer celebrating 70 years of dreamers and doers in EAA’s 70th anniversary collection.
The best of both worlds, a hybrid between an ale and a lager, this classic beer style originated in Cologne, Germany. It is easy to drink, crisp, bready, and hop-forward from being finished with German Sterling hops. Balance is key, and this beer is perfectly balanced.
ABV: 5.1% IBU’s: 35

Everybody loves the roar and snarling thunder of warbirds, ex-military aircraft now in private hands. These aircraft are displayed and flown to keep the lessons of history fresh, alive, and never forgotten.
Warbirds are painstakingly restored and masterfully flown by those who work tirelessly to honor the giants on whose shoulders we stand – the veterans who sacrificed as much as everything to grant us the freedoms we enjoy today.
*Available at select Red One Markets on the AirVenture grounds beginning Monday, July 24, 2023.
**Available at select retail locations in the Fox Cities from Saturday, July 1, through Monday, July 31:

The freedom to build and fly your own airplane is baked into EAA’s DNA.
Back in 1955, when the organization was just two years old, founder Paul Poberezny wrote a series of articles for Mechanix Illustrated magazine that talked readers through building a simple single-seater called the Baby Ace.
This story showed the world that homebuilding wasn’t just fun and rewarding, it was affordable, too.

EAA is all about flying for fun. For some people, hitting the smoke and wringing your airplane through the grace, beauty, and controlled chaos of aerobatics is the most fun of all.
This can’s design features the Red Devils, a top-notch team made up of champion aerobatic pilots Charlie Hillard, Gene Soucy, and EAA’s own Tom Poberezny, who started thrilling Oshkosh audiences back in 1971.
