Tap Rooms Iowa

[baller21]

I'm not going to speak for the people in charge, but I do know several of them, and I would put the odds of Pulpit ever opening a second tap room at some where between 0 and 1%. Especially one 3.5 hours from Decorah.

That’s too bad, having them, TG, Lua, Confluence and Barn Town all in the DM area would be awesome. PR is one of the few existing Iowa breweries with the name recognition that would immediately pull people in. Not sure who else could do that. Maybe Lion Bridge?

Alluvial probably, but it wouldn't make any sense for them to have a second taproom 50 miles away from the original.

IMO, it's very bad time in the industry to "go big" unless you're a VERY solid and established brewery.

agree but then i see what Big Grove built in CR and Field Day built in North Liberty and yearn for something like that in the former Kinship spot

Kinship Brewing Company lists building, land for sale as it reaches foreclosure settlement

Kinship Brewing Company's taproom and surrounding land in Waukee are for sale.

Hogan said several breweries, both in Iowa and elsewhere, have inquired about the facility. Likely its best use would be as a brewery because it is ready to start making beer immediately, he said.

I was very impressed with Field Day. I don't know their history, but usually places that start out large from day 1 without a history of making good beers, fail miserably.

Lion Bridge-Hasn't impressed me over the last few years.

I'd love to see someone like Clock House come big into Des Moines. Dimensional is another.

This is good to hear about Field Day. I follow them on the socials and I like what I'm seeing. We're definitely hoping to get there at some point.

I believe the owners of Field Day also run 30 hop so even if they didn’t make beer previously, they knew how to run a successful restaurant

SingleSpeed's Des Moines location is awesome as well even if I don't always love their beers.

I really enjoy both Singlespeed and Lion Bridge beers.

What I love about Lion Bridge are their simpler beers. Compensation. Viva Zoda. Stuff like that. I remember stopping in once around Houby Days and they had a chanterrelle mushroom porter and it was stupid good.

Except their parking sucks.

Yeah they could definitely use some more parking.

Love LB for the same reason. They do solid IPAs and stouts but also do some not so popular styles really well.

Adventurous is another brewery I like quite a bit that could be a good fit for the space, cans just started showing up in the metro recently but I don’t think their established enough to make that jump.

Forgot about Adventurous, they are also killing it.

Stopped by SingleSpeeds Des Moines location of the first time today. The beers that I had were awesome and will definitely be going back.

same owners as Coopers on 5th, Winchester and Blind Pig which raises my interest level quite a bit

The comment section must not have been going well since comments got shut off.

Man, I don't think anyone was asking "but will their beer live on?"
