The annual ranking of breweries in Iowa was released today:
https://iowabeerblog.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-10-best-breweries-in-iowa-2018.html
JUST MISSED THE CUT: SingleSpeed, Madhouse, Fat Hill, Iowa Brewing Company, Franklin Street and 515 Brewing.
10. Backpocket
9. Jackson St.
8. Exile
7. Lion's Bridge
6. Confluence
5. Alluvial
4. Barn Town
3. Big Grove
2. Topling Goliath
1. Pulpit
I haven't had Pulpit, Barn Town, and Jackson St, however all of the others are legit, except for Exile. I'd knock them off and add Iowa Brewing or 515 on it.
The article didn't mention 7 Hills in Dubuque, which was decent, and Third Base Brewing, which puts out excellent seasonal beers.
Odd that it has Thew on its watch list, as when we went there a few weeks ago, I'd say they're the worst microbrewery in the CR area.
