If you like breweries and relaxing outdoors this is a fun stop in Clear Lake. The service is great and there's a good selection of craft beers on tap. Beers we tried were *69- a hoppy IPA and The OG- a light lager. We also drank a number of vodka lemonades. It's great to have a brewery with other drink options for the non-beer drinkers. The outdoor seating is ample and on a Saturday you'll find a number of dogs hanging out with their beer drinking humans. It's a great summer stop in Clear Lake. read more

The service was good they had a beer flight that was another of fun for our large group we were able to taste all their best sells then we order a few beers I loved the Scottish ale. And the dark Stout. I took a few six packs to go it's a cool place to hang out and day drink . But very limited food items. However there cool with you bring in outside food. read more

A neighbor of mine brought me an assorted 6-pack of Lake Time's brews. Each was uniquely delicious, but the Red Zeppelin was a fantastic red ale! Just the right amount of sweetness with a slightly hoppy kick. We will certainly be making a trip down to Clear Lake to see what this place is all about! read more

Always enjoy Lake Time Brewery when you in Clear Lake! Great beer selections with fun names! Plenty of space to chill inside or head outside to their cute deck and enjoy the warm sunshine! Keep up the good work Lake Time! read more

Lake Time Brewery - Main squeeze beer! - Breweries Near Me - Clear Lake, Iowa

Cute little place that brews a diverse variety of beers. I stopped by mid-afternoon on a Saturday and found a steady flow of patrons. The taproom is in an old house, so it's not incredibly big, but makes for a tremendous atmosphere. There are a few different seating areas, including a small bar, which results in a cozy environment. They offer flights of 4 beers or the full 10 that they have on tap. I went with a 4-beer flight to try a few, and didn't have any misses. Oreo Speedwagon was the winner of my flight (as expected, as I've previously had it). The servers were inviting and friendly to everyone that came through the doors, and checked in on me just enough so that I felt taken care of. read more

Service and beer variety is great. I'm a Rusty Rudder man. Sat outdoors on the lower patio.

Absolutely amazing brewery. Showed up at 4pm when they opened and the inside was packed by 5. We went with the 10 flight special, which is every beer that they have on tap. Additional beers are offered by the bottle but this way we got to try most of them. Usually one or three are disappointing when you go this route,but we enjoyed every single one! I wish this beer wasn't only in clear lake IA! read more

Lake Time Brewery - Another brewery found on our beer bucket list! - Breweries Near Me - Clear Lake, Iowa

Good beers. Small house converted into small brewery, food truck on site always pretty good.

Went in to support a local business, but was saddened to find that there was no mask mandate in the brewery, as well as the server wasn't wearing a mask. Due to the pandemic, I find this incredibly disappointing & we won't be returning. read more

Nice place. Really good beer, I had the stout. It was a beautiful day so the deck was nice otherwise not a lot of seating inside. Too bad it wasnt on the lake. read more

What a spectacular place this is! I came over with a buddy on a lazy Thursday and I was blown away with what we found. It's located just off the center of town in a relatively non-descript house that was apparently an old funeral home. Plenty of seating outside when it's nice and seating for about 30 or so inside, including some legit chairs and couches inside to the left. Simple décor and a chill atmosphere make it homey and create a really nice neighborhoody vibe. The master brewer - Bob - is nothing short of genius with his beer creations. Ranging from light and summery to dark and wintery, there is something for even the most discriminating of beer palate. As a dark beer buy, I tried the Anchor's Away and the Brown Ale. I don't say this lightly, but the Anchor's Away may be the favorite beer I've had this year. An imperial stout that hails with coffee and chocolate notes, but finishes incredibly smooth - this is the beverage of Kings! The Brown was lovely as well, though eclipsed in my mind by the AA. The lemon Weis, Double IPA and Sandy Bottom were all excellent - in fact, one of the most impressive beer lineups I've seen in a long time. As stated, Bob is mixing up some magic in this spot. While there's no kitchen here, they do serve a meat/cheese tray done by a local place that is downright delish! Cheese curds, some peppered salami and cheese twisty pretzels make this a crowd pleaser without the pretentious hype. For $5, it's absolutely worth getting! All said and done, this was some of the best beer I've had in a long time, was a super chill atmosphere and is run by some incredibly nice folks. When in town, this is a must see for any beer fan! read more

Stopped here on our way to Kansas City. Really glad we did. They had a really great beer selection and some unique options. I had the limited edition Pumpkin Spice Cappuccino Stout and tried the Octoberfest Vienna Lager, super flavorful and malty. Service was great. We drive to KC a lot so will definitely try this location again! They also sell six packs of most of their beer and have gluten free options! read more

The best beer they have is maybe average at best. The building is cute, great location, but not conducive to a comfortable environment. Loud and very close quarters. The service most of the time has been shotty (unless we've been the only table there). Examples have included taking too long to serve or leaving me with an empty glass too long, while just being plain rude. I've also witnessed what I could assume to be a regular get smashed at the bar and then jump in the car upon departure - a business can be held liable for anything that may happen in that car. Shouldn't we all be good stewards of society? It's unfortunate because Clear Lake could use a place like this but I cannot support, and not only for the less than mediocre service they provide, and questionable patrons. I will also refuse to support because of an incompetent business owner and management. read more

We love to stop at Lake Time Brewery when we come to visit Clear Lake. It has a cool atmosphere with nautical decor and indoor and outdoor seating. My favorite time of year is to go during the winter when the fireplace is going and everything just seems so cozy. Sometimes there is a food truck out front for food! Their beers are sometimes hit or miss, but they've definitely improved over the years. I like to try their limited edition experimental beers, but they do have their standards, which are find. But sometimes with those limited edition beers, you can find something truly delicious. I'd definitely recommend a stop! read more

I really liked the beer. The staff was friendly and helpful. Also got an awesome t shirt read more

Comfortable. Beer flights so find a friend and try them all. For food, they offer only a cheese / meat tray but have local delivery or carry out menus and encourage you to get food and settle in. Ten beers on tap. Growlers and a 32 oz version to go. read more

Loved this place! We wanted to make a pit-stop at a brewery on the drive from Cedar Falls to Minneapolis and randomly picked Lake Time. I am SO glad we did! The beers were amazing. I tried all 9, and genuinely loved 8 of them (and I've never had a Porter that I enjoyed, so I certainly can't blame Lake Time for that). read more

Great beers with large variety and rotating seasonal taps. Great atmosphere whether its sitting outside on the patio in the summer or inside by the fire in the winter. Can order in pizza from one of our many great pizza places in Clear Lake. I have been to Lake Time 25+ times and have never been disappointed. read more

Cute little brewery in an old Victorian house. Patio seating. Inside is very quaint. Service was good, very friendly and helpful staff. Funny signs all around. They sell apparel and glasses. You can buy Boston pints or growlers of beer. Good variety of beer styles. Fun, laid back atmosphere. I would definitely hang out here again. read more

I came from Chicago and discovered Lake Time. What an amazing find. I sampled their Porter and ended up buying two growlers. The staff, the patrons and the brewer were all amazing. Everyone was very friendly. Good time. Loved it. read more

Absolutely awesome. Great atmosphere where you can actually carry on a conversation and relax with friends. Great beer for any taste. Their seasonal/special brews are always fun. Love the porter and the brown on the regular menu. Great staff who make you feel welcome and take good care of you. Owners absolutely rock and know their beer. Love this place. It's like my Cheers. read more

I've been to Lake Time Brewery a hand full of times and just can't seem to find a beer I even remotley like.

A great place to relax and try some new beers! The environment makes it feel like your enjoying a beer at a buddy's home. The servers were patient and perfectly pleasant. I recommend the "Around the Lake" if your up for an 8 beer flight! read more

Lake Time Brewery I say this in all honesty if you can't find a beer you like here you must be a wine drinker. Bob (master brewer) does wonderful beer! I am not going to say your are going to like everything he mixes up but you will find something on menu that you will enjoy. A list of my favorites (I'm a dark beer guy) would include his Imperial Stout .... So GOOD. My favorite of all the stouts in the state. The Porter is 1st rate and some of his variations on the porters such as Coconut Porter and Peanut Butter Porter will have you begging for more. His Brown ale is a solid stable drinkable brown ale that if you had that and nothing else you would be happy. Ok lets say I cant say enough good things about the establishment and the Beer well worth the trip to Clear Lake in its own rite. read more

Great little place with a warm artisan feel. It was a great refuge on a rainy Saturday after noon. Wonderfully friendly hosts and great glass of beer! read more
