    Average at best is how I can describe this brewery. Yes, they make their own beers but all of it tasted less than spectacular. I tried a flight to get a good sampler of what they offered. Meh... the atmosphere is ok given what they had to work with and the staff is ok. Not very chatty or welcoming. Given that there weren't many people in there, you'd think they would have been a bit more conversant about what they had on tap.

    I went to Green Tree Brewery with my boyfriend on our travels through the Quad Cities. It's located right next door to Mississippi distillery. They usually have decent craft beer, but they were out of a lot of their popular craft beers when we went. I liked the cool green lights above the bar. It was disappointing that staff weren't that busy and still didn't help us that quickly or well, they seemed to be too wrapped up in their own affairs...chatting. Hopefully you can visit this place on a good day if so, you'll have a Great experience; if not, try a different time.

    Have you ever wanted to get the hell out of Illinois and just enjoy a good beer? If so Green Tree Brewery is the place for you. They have the best craft brews this side of the Mississippi. Whether you're in the mood for a fancy pants IPA or a nice taste of fall in an Octoberfest, they have a beer for you. If you're in the taproom or on the lovely outdoor patio, the river view at GTB is breathtaking.

    Beer was great, the bartender was very helpful, and they have a great location. We bought a crowler to take home!

    I am typically not a beer drinker but we figured we stop in and see what Green Tree had to offer. It was 6 degrees outside and was surprised how many people ventured out into the cold to come here. They off multiple variety of beers brewed there from Ales, IPA and Stouts. They provided samples of any you cared to try. I highly enjoyed the Berry Barley! Shocking since I don't generally enjoy beer. It has blackberry, blue berry and black raspberry but the Beer is green! It smells like a blueberry muffin, taste like a soft raspberry yet oddly has a mild beer flavor. My friend started with a blonde ale and said it was smooth and delicious but he ended up switching to the Berry Barley. The hubs went with a PB & Java stout. He stated it was very good a full of peanut butter flavor. Yet he two switched to the Berry Barley. They don't offer food but they do have fresh made popcorn for your enjoyment. We ended up purchasing a 64oz Growler of the Berry Barely for $18.

    This brewery is a great little spot with tons of room and incredible views of the river! They offer a wide selection of 15 beers, various IPAs, stouts, and ales. I tasted a few beers and ended up having a glass of the River Bottom Red. Everybody in our group enjoyed the different beers we tried and will be returning!

    Green Tree has some super delicious beers! My favorite was the Berry Barely Blonde. The space has plenty of seating, both indoors and on a covered patio. And there's an awesome view of the river too!

    Road trip pit stop! Very, very good. :D  Try the Chocolate Cherry Coffee Stout!

    Fantastic Micro Brewery! I was on a road trip to Des Moines, Iowa, and stopped in Le Claire to rest along the Mississippi River. I did not expect to find Green Tree Brewery, but I'm very glad I did. The tap room was spacious, with floor to ceiling windows for a great view of the Mississippi River. There was bar seating, tables and outdoor patio seating available. Now that we've talked about the amazing atmosphere...let's get to the beer. Green Tree deserves my five-star rating for making great beers. The more traditional beers, like their blonde, red, IPA and hefeweizen, were spot on. Where they excelled, however, were with some of their "experimental" flavor beers. Two I wanted to really commend on are the C3 Stout and PB&J(ava). C3 stands for "Chocolate Cherry Coffee" Stout. It did taste like a chocolate covered cherry, but not overwhelmingly sweet. Every sip was full of flavor. The PB&J(ava) did have a nice blend of peanut butter flavor. Once again, tasty but not overpowering in peanut butter flavor. I was so thrilled with the brewery, I bought a commemorative glass. I certainly wanted to remember the place. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

    We were in town visiting family. We made a day of Cody Road. This was our last stop. There is no food as they do not have a kitchen. They do have free popcorn. Sodas in a can if you are not drinking. They have pints and also 4 oz glasses of their product. They also do flights. Above the river with a view of the river. Staff was to the point but not overly friendly. All self service. You order from the bar, you help yourself to the popcorn and you sort of bus your own table. Bathrooms were clean. A good stop after our stroll of the many shops on Cody Road along with the distillery and wine tasting room.

Emily wanted to check out Five Cities based on their logo containing a dog and liking most of their beer offerings. We dropped in around 1pm to a mostly empty place as there was only one other table. The bartender was beyond friendly and helped us at every step of the way. We ordered our drinks at the bar and took them to a table where we could be alone. Emily started with the Bikini Bottom and I got the Here Kitty Kitty Kitty. Emily's drink came in a pineapple glass and was very strong on the pineapple flavor. Here Kitty Kitty Kitty was just about perfect for an IPA. We ordered a second drink with our food. I stuck with the Kitty and Emily switched to the Crush Tangerine. Next door is Central Standard Craft Burgers & Beer. As we were walking in, I jokingly said it would be funny if the food we order here came from next door. Sure enough, that is exactly what happens. Emily got The Standard Club with coleslaw, and I got the Fire & Smoke burger. I'd say within 10 minutes of our bartender taking our order (which we had to do at the bar), our food was in front of us in these neat little boxes. Once you crack the sticker, heaven is waiting for you inside. My burger came with lightly battered french fries. This style is my favorite, by far. Both Emily and I were in heaven eating our delicious food. From the first bite to the last fry was some of the best food I've had in months, maybe all year. Pair it with the beer and we didn't want to leave. I'd say I would like to try out Central Standard itself and see if the experience is the same there. All in all, we had a blast at Five Cities Brewing. I got a shirt and some (free at the time) stickers in their merch corner. Emily got a koozie and some stickers herself. The shirt I got was a medium and ended up running on the smaller/athletic side. If I can lose about 15 pounds, you'll get to see the fun shirt pop up in a future review as it has a funny saying on the back.

It's down across from the river in an older building. There's a good amount of parking and tons of character! We sat outside on a nice night - there were probably 8-10 picnic tables as well as a good amount of seating inside. The beer selection was solid and included a number of nonalcoholic options. The food here is gastropub style stuff and was really good! The Cobb salad was a memorable one with a ton of meat. The kids got Philly cheesesteaks - those were unexpectedly delicious and included homemade cheese whiz. Another kiddo got a chicken bacon ranch flatbread - excellent and reminded delicious out of the fridge the following day! The pizzas looked good too and were (as we found) all available as flatbreads. The service was excellent and despite the busy evening, they got to us quick and took good care of us. We don't often plan to return to out of town spots, but this is one we'll definitely be back to!

    Ignore all of the construction and give these guys a try, you won't regret it!…read more The bartender, Carrie, was fantastic! Offering samples and suggestions to make sure everyone received something they would enjoy. When I told her I liked bourbon and not beer, she brought out a bottle of Woodford Reserve and never once told me I just had to try one of their beers because it would most certainly be the one to convert me to a beer drinker! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that and wish more breweries would be like that. But back to the beer, the rest of the family enjoyed the selection and all said they would go back. They do not serve food, but there is a very good Mexican restaurant next door and you can bring in their food if you are hungry. It is also very family friendly and welcoming!

Midwest Ale Works takes care of your beer needs, and there's quite a variety. Has pretty good prices on pints. There's fruity ones and more traditional hoppy styles. A lot of beers to choose from. It's about $7 a pint. That's not bad for a local craft brewery like this. A few of these are fruity. This is a good place if you like sours. I liked the name of the Fuster Cluck. This is a blackberry, blueberry, and raspberry sour. All three berries. They use over 100 pounds of berries when brewing it. As for the food, you can order it from next door. There's Mexican food such as chips and tacos. Has lots of great beers. It has a variety of interesting flavors. Those wanting food can order it from the restaurant in the same building or from one of the nearby other places or wherever.
