10 Best Breweries in Iowa 2018

I'm not terribly impressed with their cans, but I liked it the one time I visited the actual facility.
Not that long ago I'm not sure if it was the KMart building itself or Aldi's/Jethros but they wanted to build some big reception hall down that way too.
I just don't get the appeal.
I've never been, but had their cans a few times. The first early cans had 'technical difficulties' like low carb, off flavors, etc. I had some several months later, improved, but nothing exciting.
But most breweries don't put their all-stars in cans, so I'd be willing to try something on site.
Only 4 of the’18 breweries made this list but I think it’s a great list. I would replace Clock House with Lion Bridge personally but haven’t been to Clock House in quite a while so maybe they’ve upped their game. Also considered Aluvial, Pivo, Jackson St and Barn Town.

Thanks for the link, but holy **** -- that site is unusable. Read through the top four before giving up.Only 4 of the’18 breweries made this list but I think it’s a great list.

Yeah it was pretty bad. Here’s the list.
TG
Lua
Pulpit Rock
Big Grove
Confluence
Field Day
Adventurous
Dimensional
Marto
Clock House
I haven't been to all the other top ten but I have really liked everything I've had from Alluvial the couple times I've been there
Is there a chance Gezellig is going to crack the top 10 soon? I've never had something from them that I didn't like.
Newton, they make some decent beer. I’d definitely put them in the top 20 in the state.
Pulpit Rock>>>>>TG . It’s pretty amazing for a small town to have 2 excellent breweries
TG has the really nice and huge tap room/restaurant. But I'm with you Pulpit Rock has the better beer.
I prefer Pulpit’s taproom. TG’s is just so big and impersonal.
I agree with the Pulpit preference. I think them and Pivo benefit from TG being a destination for a lot of travelers. But it's nice having all three options. TG checks all the boxes for a fun stop to visit when people come into town. But I prefer Pulpit Rock's beer and setting by a long ways.
As a local, I go to Pulpit and Pivo 3-4x for every TG visit. TG is a place I generally go when someone is visiting
I'm not entirely local but exact same scenario. If I'm with someone that likes beer, we got to Pulpit. If I'm with someone that is looking for an activity for the day, it's TG.
A word to the wise: if they are serving neon hazy from Barn Town at a wedding, don’t drink 8 of them. You don’t feel great the next day.
