Peace Tree is for sale

If anyone comes across some Blonde Fatale you better scoop it up. Nearly every shelf in the Des Moines area is wiped out of Peace Tree beers. If they have any left its probably one of their sours. Drank the last Blonde Fatale in my fridge over the weekend and was hoping it was not my last but it looks like it may be.
Try working there and finding out less than 24 hours before you go in for your shift.
We knew it was coming, but the abruptness of it, and she didn't even come down for the last day, that really left it in a bad way. But, I will say, I got a Cedar Ridge rum barrel that was 1/3 full of imperial stout when I stopped in to say fair thee well, so, that helped ease the pain.

I've missed her soooo much! Yes! I've been drinking Husky from Alaskan Brewing. As far as IPAs go, it's very good.
I was in the Johnston one a few weeks ago and he said something exciting locally was coming soon. Asked if it was a collab, and he said "not really." This makes sense now.
Fong's is leaving downtown to take over the old Peace Tree location in the East Village
Fong's Pizza is closing their downtown location. Here's where their new spot will be.

I feel like half the draw for fongs is being right among the bars for the late night slices crowd. They'll kind of be out on their own over on east court
Probably front running the massive development projects coming to the Market District.. Plus Court Ave is dying
Market District renaissance: Des Moines envisions tree-line streets, bistro cafes in historic warehouse district
The reimagined Market District could include more than 3,400 apartments and townhomes and 345,000 square feet of commercial space.

While im aware of that, that's still years away from really coming into existence, and even then that's kind of in the worst of both worlds- they're a couple blocks from most of the activity to the north, and a couple blocks from were most activity to the south will be.
And while court is definitely at a low point, all that is cyclical. It'll likely come around again. You could also just as easily say the area around this location is dying given in that immediate area you have the deaths of peace tree, 1717, barrel house, rrracks, etc
East Village bars are becoming more and more popular, but the old Peace Tree certainly isn't centralized to those.
