Hi all! I'm travelling back to eastern Iowa next week so my daughter can spend time with family (from 8/13-8/23). They couldn't care less about me, though, so I plan to be out exploring Midwestern beers most of the time. Most of my time will be spent in Muscatine (on the IA-IL border just 30 mins. south of the Quad Cities and about 45 minutes from Iowa City in the other direction) and Cedar Rapids. I'll have a car and driving 1 - 1 1/2 hours in each direction is no concern.
I know of Toppling Goliath and I also know I have little chance of tracking any down unless I go there or am in the right place at the right time. If anyone has tips on where to find it on tap or knows another way I can procure bottles, though, I'm all ears (eyes?).
What other beers/breweries should I be on the watch for? What bottle shops would be good to visit while in CR, Iowa City, or the Quad Cities? How about brew pubs in those cities?
Finally, if anyone is going to be in said cities and wants to do an in-person trade or better yet, set up a bottle share, let me know. I can easily cram a couple Plinys in my bag (or whatever else if you know what you want).
Cheers and thanks in advance guys (and gals)!
