4.5Green Tree Brewery(102 reviews) - Good beers Friday: 12:00 PM - 12:00 AM Spent 1-2 hours Breweries
We had a great time. Beers were pretty good. We bought 4 crowlers to go and one ended up leaking all over hotel fridge. They did send me a $10 gift card but unsure when we will be there again due to not living in the area.See more..
We made a trek to Decorah from the Twin Cities to visit Toppling Goliath and Pulpit Rock and to our surprise, we liked Pulpit Rock much better. Nice little spot with super nice, outgoing staff that made us feel like we were regulars. Saftig NE IPA was delicious!See more..
My wife and I arrived by bicycle, right at noon. There we found that they had just opened. It was very nice out, so we sat at an outside table. Inside we ordered 2 beers. Both were very yummy. The gentleman working the bar was very nice and helpful. They apparently invite a food truck to park at their location and offer up food to brewery customers, or whoever makes their way to their parking lot. On this day, Mactopia was the food truck available. And we took advantage of them, and enjoyed a tasty, and quite large serving of, a brisket Mac and cheese. We had a great lunch visit. I would visit again.See more..
Went with my sons (16 & 11). They had root beer. Locally made. Loved it. I tried a flight of 4 beers. It’s off the beaten path from Des Moines, but totally worth a visit. Clean facility & happy staff. See more..
No flights - but they did offer samples. Friendly people, nice, clean space. Good selection of brews. Wish their outdoor seating was bigger, but the side doors do open allowing for nice days to be enjoyed while inside. See more..
Wife and I went on a motorcycle ride on a Sunday. Went to Alluvial and wow!! The building and grounds very nice. The imperial milk stout, and oh henry batata autumn ale were exceptional. The art work is beautiful. Highly recommend this placeSee more..
4.5Fat Hill Brewing(30 reviews) - Great Place for Outstanding Craft Beer Friday: 4:00 PM - 11:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Bars & Clubs • Breweries
Fat Hill Brewing is a locally owned/operated 7-barrel craft brewery that opened in Mason City in December 2016. Our brewing facility and tap room in the long-vacant historic building at 17 N. Federal Avenue features sixteen taps, space for 140 patrons, and a busy calendar full of live music and special events. We have a creative, ever-changing beer menu in which we try to spotlight Iowa ingredients when we can, including wildflower honey from Nora Springs, aronia berries from Fertile, herbs from Mitchell, and hops from Cedar Falls. Our brewer, a FHB co-owner, loves to brew classic old-world styles like a dopplebock or porter, but also gets a kick out of adding his own spin on familiar beers (hibiscus in a saison, matcha in a wit, etc.). We are especially proud of our barrel aging program and our hazy citrus-bomb of a NEIPA. We strive for impeccable customer service and a strong sense of community in our tap room, as it's the only place in the world you can find our beer.See more..
What a fantastic ambiance. Historical bldg. with a modern vibe. And a cool story behind every piece of furniture. I’m picky with beer, but this place does it right. We’ll be back. My sons loved their root beer and sitting on the balcony. See more..

4.5Lake Time Brewery(25 reviews) - Interesting brews in a quaint house Spent 2-3 hours Breweries
After having several of their brews throughout the day we knew we needed to make a stop at this brewery. We did a flight of their 10 beers and with only two of us we could not finish them all. None of the beers we had tasted throughput the day were included so these 10 were all new to us. As with all flights, some you love and some you don’t —. Interesting blend. The brewery is located in an old house with a porch that we sat on only to find that the sun was in our eyes and it was too hot so we moved back inside. Limited parking and is located on a busy street. We had a snack plate that was very reasonable but we would have been happy with a bowl of popcorn. It was busy so staff was not able to talk to us much so we were not able to know about them. Even with the tiny negatives I am still giving an excellent rating. We will go here again if ever back in the area.See more..
First time in this brewery and liked a lot. A good selection of beers with a couple of new beers in the menu. It was an evening with different events, so you should go early if you are in a group of 4 or more. Friendly atmosphere and nice staff.See more..
Stopped at this brewery on a Sunday afternoon. Live music, with the talented Monica Austin, and a wonderful selection appetizers. Tried several of their beers and enjoyed every one of them. Can’t wait to go back and sit on the patio with a view of the Mississippi.See more..
Great beer, awesome atmosphere, fun people! Good for families, couples or grabbing a pint by your lonesome. Highly recommended!See more..

4.5Sutliff Cider(13 reviews) - Take your friends! Spent 2-3 hours Breweries Enjoyed the apple cider and brick baked pizza. It was super hot when we were there and we didnt get there early enough to grab a shady area to sit in as it fills up quickly. Still appreciated the surroundings and the live music. Wishing they were open more than just Sunday. Also wish the food vendors were more reliable. (Called ahead and was told food vendors 'usually' show up around 1-2, if they can'.) We'll go again now that we know the ropes. See more..
Enjoyed the brews - they offer nice flights and taster selections if you don't want to commit to a whole pint of something. Good, creative space, friendly people. Wish their outdoor patio was a little big bigger, but not the end of the world!See more..
We went here as I saw it on TA and was intrigued by the new brewery. My husband and I are big on craft beers so we went ahead and sampled every Another Road Brewing beer on tap. Overall, they were fine. Some were not our type but they weren't necessarily bad. Some stood out (Honey Wheat). So, there is some potential here as the place grows. The location is good with ample parking, and the interior is bare--they are obviously still moving in. It looks like the only food offering is popcorn. We've been to many breweries that don't serve food, this place should work out a bring your own food policy (common in Maryland)...and then cross advertise with Zoeys! ;). (And maybe sell some soda?)See more..
Was in town for 2 nights. We were planning on going out to dinner in CR and looking for a brewer to stop in beforehand. It was Wednesday night and a few people were inside and few outside. We were created right away and could sit anywhere. We both ordered a flight of 4 beers. I picked a variety and thought all were pretty good. For food we needed a snack. They share a kitchen with Black Sheep social which coincidentally we had already planned on going for dinner. We just got the elote corn dip. It was pretty average. Really not that much for $12. A handful of chips, and some veggies that looked like they had been cut ahead of time and had dried out somewhat. Would choose something else to eat if going in the future. The beer was definitely good and verdict still out on the food.See more..
Friendly and helpful staff. Fun decor. Great beer selections. Love the outside area. The games were fun to play on the gorgeous day we visited. See more..
Pretty laid back place! Great beer selection and knowledgeable bartender! Enjoyed the patio, great spot to kick back with a couple cold ones. Hubby and I enjoyed 2 rounds of Black is Beautiful & Cran Orange Wheat beers, highly recommend! Brewery following all guidelines for pandemic which made our visit very pleasant. We’ll for sure be back! See more..
3.5Mason City Brewery(5 reviews) - Small Friday: 5:00 PM - 11:00 PM Breweries I thought this place was nice but the space was very small. It seems like a "regular" hangout since people were looking at us when we walked in; we were in town from Mpls and they obviously knew we didn't live in town. Beer was good. See more..
5.0Timbukbru(4 reviews) - Very inviting and friendly Breweries
Stumbled upon this place as it was just opening for the day. Was greeted by the friendly owner. All art also done by owners wife. Fun place very welcoming. Even had ciders and wines for non beer enthusiasts such as myself. Highly recommend and look forward to visiting again!See more..
5.0Gezellig(2 reviews) - Very warm and welcoming Friday: 3:00 PM - 10:00 PM Breweries
So cool to see a place like this operating in Newton! We were visiting the area for some sad family business, and Gezellig is a stone's throw from the Best Western. It was a very warm environment to tuck into after the events of the day. Love that it's located in a building that is being re-used / restored (Maytag Building). Tasting room is in the former employee cafeteria. I felt safe and hugged sitting at the bar and meeting the locals. AND GREAT BEER for sure!See more..
3.0Wing Nutt Brewing(2 reviews) - Good beer Spent 1-2 hours Breweries Definitely a good place to try. Calm atmosphere. It's new, so keep that in mind for service. Small fun brewery. See more..
4.5Five Cities Brewing(2 reviews) - .Fun place Friday: 11:00 AM - 12:00 AM Breweries

So many choices for craft beers - love to get a flight across the spectrum - then go with the Chilli Buzz afterward - so good!See more..
5.0Farmhand Brewing(1 review) - Nice Small Town Brewery Breweries
This was the first time that my wife and I had visited the town of Earling, IA. We were tired of being stuck at home for the Covid issue and decided to take a small road trip since the weather was nice for January. We took a relaxing drive using side roads from Omaha to Earling. Our goal was to visit Farmhand Brewing. We have traveled countless miles and visited many craft brewers over the years and are always looking for someplace new. Farmhand Brewing is located on the main business street in Earling. The interior is nicely decorated and there is seating at the bar and numerous tables. They serve pizza now, but we did not have any on our visit. They do have mixed drinks available and tv's for watching your favorite game. We sat a the bar and started with flights to sample as many of their beer offerings as possible. Along with their own beers, they did have a couple of guest taps. All the styles of beer they brewed were very good and we enjoyed talking with he owner. Opening a craft brewery in a small town is a risky adventure, and to do so with the Covid pandemic makes it even more trying. While we were enjoying our visit, another couple came in from another town in Iowa. They apparently had visited before and enjoyed the beers. I don't know why, but it seems as if most of the breweries in Iowa are located from Des Moines to Illinois, and the western part of the state has few breweries. The small town friendliness was alive in well in Earling. We enjoyed our beers and the people we met. We travel through Iowa for various events each year and we will make an effort to visit Farmhand as much as possible. This is a neat location to visit. Try some craft beer, relax with some of the locals, and make new friends. Definitely worth a few hours of your time. Cheers!!!See more..
