Big Grove Brewery is among Iowa’s top beer producers and is a Top 100 craft brewery nationally. In 2013, the brewery started as a 3.5-barrel brewhouse in Solon, Iowa, and focused on freshly made craft beer and elevated pub cuisine.
The brewery opened an 8,000-square-foot production facility four years later, anchoring the Iowa City Riverfront Crossings redevelopment project with additional concepts opening in Des Moines and Cedar Rapids in 2022 and 2023 respectively. Big Grove has received multiple craft brewing medals, including a Great American Beer Festival (GABF) gold medal for Easy Eddy, its flagship Hazy IPA, as well as medals for Citrus Surfer Fruited Wheat, and a GABF silver medal for Festbier, a Bavarian-style Märzen.
