What People Are Saying
“Pouring a foggy orange with sunny tangerine undertones, the crushable [Passé] Pale Ale is almost as pretty to look at as it is to imbibe (almost). With bursts of fresh vine-ripened citrus erupting in every gulp, these guys have figured out how to make a beer that steers clear of any dank, resiny bitterness while also remaining impressive, interesting, and well-balanced…”

“F*cking Amazing Beer. Service was prompt, knowledgeable people and the community felt right. Comfortable with notes of leisure. Tasty to the point of wanting more. These guys do it ALL the right way.”

“Some of the best single hop pales in central Iowa, if not Iowa itself are brewed here. The staff is always friendly, and they usually have a cool event going every night. My favorite brewery to hang at in DSM [Des Moines] metro by far. And it's right off the bike trail!”
Karl Althaus on Facebook
Cool laid back place right off the bike trail. It is absolutely perfect to grab a cold beer on your way thru. Plus it has killer beers. The staff are great and the patrons are fun too. It is definitely worth a stop whether you are on a bike or in a car.

The best micro brewery in Des Moines. I wish they would mass distribute. Otherwise great atmosphere, great staff, great beer.
