Madhouse is having a release party tonight for their Iowa Hops IPA and just released two new beers: a heavy Mexican Stout called "El Hefe" and a sour beer (can't remember the name) just a few weeks ago. Their taproom isn't huge and is still a bit of a work in progress but I love their beer. Good variety and worth checking out.
Confluence has the best beer.
I don't care for Exile beer that much (It's fine) but their patio/location is choice on a nice day.

I tried probably 7 or 8 Exile beers. Out of those I've had one that I enjoyed(elephant squat).
This may surprise some people but some of the best beer you can get in town is the specialty stuff that Rock Bottom produces. El Bait Shop will sometimes have 5-10 of their beers and they are pretty amazing.
Another hidden gem if you like Belgians is the Red Monk. It's amazing that we have a bar like this is Des Moines Iowa. You'd be hard pressed to find the same kind of selection anywhere in the midwest. Of course you will pay for it and may pass out after 3-4 beers.

just crush some blue smoothees and couple slices of casey's pizza in the parking lot like a real american1!!!
An insider told me Torrent is having a food truck in the parking lot Saturday evening. Sounds to me like a great stop after the spring game for a post-game Cyclone tailgate and breakdown. If you beat me there the beers on the house!

Is that a challenge because I can camp out for free beer.
I have yet to be there. Is it bad? They did a sour collaboration with Firetrucker.
Given the stylistic range and overall quality of the off-brand beers at Rock Bottom, I wouldn't argue with this.
