The next brewery to bite the dust

[Alswelk]

I like all of them, but would put Alluvial ahead of Field Day, Lion's Bridge, and West O.

Ten Wasp in Sumner is great as well. Brock Purdy's apparently a fan.

I was pretty excited when I was home and found out about Ten Wasp. It seems to be doing well and is good for Sumner.

Who's going to be next in the metro? Firetrucker?

Gotta think it helps firetrucker that they're the only option in Ankeny, sit on the bike trail, and they're not occupying some large expensive piece of real estate. Though it does look like they sold off their property for a couple million to the investments llc that owns a large chunk of uptown a few years ago

Marto needs on this list. I haven't tried field day, but I would put marto ahead of field day and westo.

Marto is fine, but not even the best in Sioux City. Jackson Street Brewery is way better i think.

They aren’t going anywhere. The gluten free sours are something no one else in the area does and has a cult following. BT has quietly become a top 5 producer in the state.

I dont think they are going anywhere and I enjoy their stuff and they have definitely found their corner, just isnt my thing.

Singlespeed now owns Backpocket for anyone unaware.

I thought they were just all brewing at singlespeed in Waterloo. They actually bought them?

Yes. Singlespeed now owns the IP.

7 Hills in Dubuque must be doing ok. They just opened a new taproom in Dubuque right off of 20/ Dodge Street in what used to be Old Chicago. Seems strange at a time when a lot of these places are struggling
