    I stopped in during a recent road trip and I wish I would've had more time to spend here. The…read moreinterior is pretty big and has table and bar seating. Everything was clean and service was friendly. They have lots of cool merchandise and several to-go beers. They do serve food but I didn't try any. I only had a beer because I wasn't at my final destination but they have a pretty wide variety with lots of different styles. I went with one of their flagship beers-the Neon Hazy IPA. I really enjoyed it and even got some to go so that I could enjoy back in KC. Next time I'm passing through, I'm definitely going to stop and hopefully plan a little better so that I can try more beer and food.

    My fiancée stopped in here on a Tuesday night and it was decently busy, but we were seated right…read moreaway. I am a big fan our sours, so I loved getting a flight and trying several of their options. I was a little disappointed because they were out of two that I was really excited to try, but that must just mean they are really good. For an appetizer, my fiancée loves the chips and dip. I was skeptical because how good could they be, but the chips were fresh and the dips were very yummy and unique. We both ordered burgers and loved them. I don't think of this being a burger place, but if you go, I would highly recommend a burger. They all looked so good, and I don't think you could go wrong. I also had a side of mac and cheese that I would order again as an entrée. Restaurant mac and cheese is usually pretty average, but this was so yummy. We really enjoyed our food here and would go back for burgers and some flights. We made our own 4-pack to go which I would recommend if you are looking to try a variety of their drinks!

The atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming, making it a great place to meet up with friends, enjoy a date night, or simply take a break after a day of exploring. We tried the mac & cheese stacked with BBQ and a couple of their fresh brews....everything hit the spot! (PS - Kansas City now also has a Big Grove Brewery!) If you're looking for a local brewery to add to your Des Moines itinerary, this one is definitely worth checking out!

    The food was great, and they had a lot of beverage options. The food menu is on the smaller side,…read morebut they have a good variety. Obviously they have several beer selections, but they also have seltzers, win, liquor, and THC infused sparkling water. We didn't realize the kitchen closed an hour before the actual closing time. We walked in a minute before the kitchen closed and they were really great about making sure we still got to put in a food order. The staff were very welcoming. There are a ton of seating options. They have a decent inside with several little areas that are semi closed which would make this a good place for group functions. The patio outside is pretty big. There is a variety of table sizes, so large parties can be accommodated. They also have several fire pit areas for groups. The inside has 2 large bar seating options. There are plenty of TVs inside and outside in case you are looking for a place to watch sports.
