I will be in the Midwest in September and I love visiting and collecting glasses from local breweries. I also loving trying the local flavors!
With my upcoming trip looming ahead, I need a good suggestion for a local Brewery in Des Moines! Any ideas???
Smooch!

Don't know about Des Moines but Cedar Rapids has Lions Bridge that is excellent and Decorah has Toppling Goliath that often has a brew in the top 10 or 20 in the US.

Confluence is the go-to in Des Moines IMPO. There are other good ones - Exile Brewing, Peace Tree, and Court Ave Restaurant and Brewing.

okay - Confluence is the go to. also, if your wanting food and that serves a large assortment of breweries, El Bait Shop or Iowa Taproom would be the go to.
IF your out in West Des Moines, Barn Town is the Beer Flavored nipples that everyone strokes about. Good Food. I personally would do Fox Brewing or Twisted Vine.
If your out in Ankeny (north suburb) Firetrucker and also Mistress would be the two.
if still in Des Moines area and can make it to 515, just right out side of DSM in a suburb, you will find some tastey beers there.
If your only in downtown, El Bait Shop and Iowa Taproom would be ones, but also Court Avenue Brewing and Exile Brewing are reachable and serve food.
