So since fans flocked to an Iowa Hawkeye-branded beer, they'll now have another option for tailgating parties this fall. HawkeyesWire reports that the new SWARM Vodka has officially been released! The beverage was created in partnership with Foundry Distilling Company in West Des Moines, and 25% of all sales will go directly to the Iowa SWARM Collective. Officials say that they hope Iowa fans enjoy both beverages knowing that they are also helping out the efforts of the SWARM.

HawkeyesWire reports that the new SWARM Vodka is available for purchase at Fareway Grocery, Hy-Vee, and Kum and Go stores.
