Iowa's First Farm Brewery Is Located On An Organic Farm

Iowa has no shortage of great craft breweries, but most of them are located in the big city. However, on the outskirts of Ames, you’ll find a very different kind of brewery – one located in the heartland and packed with all the flavors of the local harvest. Iowa’s first farm brewery, Alluvial Brewing Company, is located on an organic family-owned farm, but it’s delivering big flavors in a small batch. Containing a tasting room, an outdoor patio, a live music stage, and an on-site brewery, it’s quickly becoming one of the state’s best-regarded craft breweries – and the people behind it have a unique way of bringing the whole community in on the brewing process.

Alluvial Brewing Company is located on an organic farm near Ames, and it's a one-of-a-kind experience for beer lovers.

No matter when you arrive at the brewery, the odds are you'll find some unique seasonal specials on offer - including their famous pumpkin pie spiced ale.

Most of the products the beer comes from are grown and harvested right here on the farm - a true farm-to-table experience!

The owners can often be seen in the field, pulling in the crops themselves. They're involved in every step of the process and take great pride in the quality of their product.

Every step of the process is done on-site, including the brewing - which takes place in this impressive facility.

The one thing that comes from outside the farm? Fresh local fruit, purchased from local farmers - like in the case of these mulberries.

You can taste the beers in the high-ceiling tasting room lined with the work of local artists.

Or on a lovely Iowa day, you can take your beer outside and enjoy it on the patio.

There's no better way to enjoy a small-batch craft beer, but sometimes the place is even livelier than usual.

That's because Alluvial Brewing Company has a live music stage, and provides a vital spotlight for many local bands!
