I thought for only being a week old, Lua had some pretty tasty options. Two NE IPA's, a Pils, a decent 13% stout, and a hefeweizen. Still don't understand why people think it's ok to bring new borns to these places....
...because parents need a break sometimes? The first thing my wife asked for after our first, and then again after our twins, was the coldest, hoppiest, beer I could find. IMO, the best way to teach kids how to act in public...is to take them into public.
I'm in love with Lua. I stopped down there twice last week. Once I was in a real hurry and I just wanted to check it out. Had a small pour of the Tunnel of Trees NEIPA and was blown away. A lot of times these newer/smaller breweries have a "break in period" where they've gotta figure out how to use their system. It seems like Lua bypassed that period and went straight for "making kickass beer period" instead.
Stopped in Black Friday for a proper sit down and take an Uber home night. My feelings were then solidified that Lua is going to be an absolute gem for Des Moines. Once they start pumping out sours, I think it's going to be game over in the Des Moines market for "Best Brewery".
