Now all six of us can talk about living in different towns and never seeing each other ON THE FORUMS!

All kidding aside, I’m pretty happy to finally fit into a local.

Are any of the six users up in NE Iowa? I want to stop by Toppling Goliath some time, but even from Ames it is a long drive to Decorah. Any other under the radar IA breweries/brewpubs that I should be on the lookout for?

badbeer works at Toppling Goliath, in my few exchanges with him I’ve found him to be very good company and would likely show you the ropes in Decorah.

Under the radar?
There is a new place in southwestern Iowa called Keg Creek it’s in Glenwood, which I’m told is fairly close to Omaha. Anyway, their IPA is on tap at El Bait Shop and I like it very well. If that beer is any indication of the others they’re one to watch.

I was really lukewarm about Twisted Vine at first, but they seem to be working kinks out and putting out some nice beer.

There is a tiny brewery starting on a Brew Magic in what used to be the keg storage of This Place, in Waterloo. They’re calling themselves Guerrilla Brewing, but I have no clue when they’ll be up and running or if they will be good, I am of course assured by folks who work in the building that yes, they will make good beer.

Keep your jorts in Iowa. We don’t need them spreading across the Great Plains.
