I agree with Yuengling and PA - we got it here this past year and it is pretty solid. Much more than a "room" beer
Sorry if I hurt your feelings - El Dub is a regular and can take a little crap.
Ok? Don’t know what about my comment made you think you hurt my feelings lol. Weirdo
You're new here, aren't you? Weirdo? And by the way, you wouldn't have taken the time to respond if it didn't hit a nerve.
Lol you scream boomer to me. You’re a boomer right? No nerve struck my guy. Just chillen. Why do you have an issue with my comment boomer?
You know that 83% of this board is in that age range, right?
Probably depends what you consider to be "small" - but I promise you would never walk around off the main business sections in many neighborhoods in major cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, etc. after dark. There are plenty you better not do it during the day. But you go ahead and try to compare what would happen there versus small towns in rural Iowa. Des Moines, Waterloo, etc. - of course there are problem areas there.
And you scream entitled thin skinned brat - and a moran
Damn you got me! I am thin skinned with purple spiky hair from Timbucktu! (If you can’t tell I’m making fun of you!)
Gee whiz - not sure I'll be able to get to sleep tonight thinking you are making feeble attempts at making fun of me. You can do better. And it was Mogadishu, Skippy.
Lol ok. You won! Gee mister you’ve been around awhile. Are you like royalty around here?
ya'll need to get laid and quit pickin fights with strangers
I think it was more of an adrenaline dump.Iowa wasn't PEAKING at that time
You’re a true justice warrior and making a difference!!!
Dorks like him can’t help themselves…
Yeah I agree, chipack needs to understand that people can respond to his comments on a public message board.
Had some forays with 8Ball but Crooked
I hate to admit this but when I was in college and on a serious budget I was even relegated to Olympia on occasion. Glad I'm not longer broke.
Be honest . Iowa has exactly one good beer. Des Moines IPA from Confluence. The best beer I have ever tasted. It is to beer what tasty tacos are to tacos. The GOAT.
Good gawd. Tasty Tacos. That’s the worse in town, imo. Had better tacos in the school cafeteria. Hell, Casey’s pizza is better than Tasty Tacos.
I suppose it depends on folk’s personal definition of sh*thole. 2025-26 US News and World report lists it as the 25th most dangerous city to live in. Minneapolis is ranked just below Milwaukee. It fluctuates from year to year, but it typically ends up in the top 50. FWIW no Iowa cities land in the top 50.
I worked at Spinners. Also hangout at Suds a lot. Anyone go to a party at the "Whitehouse" down the street from Stein?
Keep Casey's pizza out of your mouth!
Says another guy from a different echo chamber. We got lots of them for everybody. I'll take Iowa City's until they ruin it. The rest of you can take your pick.
The basic problem for Minny is that JRob is dead and he's not coming back. Eggum's chances of coaching a title team are only slightly better than mine, and I've never coached. Unfortunately, Iowa's loss to Minny this year reflects more on Iowa that week than it did on Minny.

Any of you guys been to Ft Dodge? If so, you'd realize that we don't have much business picking on Minny, Eugene, Dallas, Tallahassee or anywhere else. However, lotta great wrestlers came out of Ft. Dodge, so I gotta respect that. Maybe it's one of those "If it didn't kill ya, it made ya stronger" sort of things.
That's crazy talk. Toppling Goliath has a number of very good beers, Big grove as well. Compensation by lion Bridge has won awards as well. That is just on the eastern side of the state.
Crow Bar is still going. I haven't drank the devil's swill in 25 years but in back in the day when we got to Soo Foo, they had this place that would open at 2am. They couldn't serve drinks but would sell packaged beer or bottles of liquor. You took it to a table and served yourself, stayed open all night.
Bingo, we have a winner!!!
TG's Assassin. Now that's beer. If any of you guys go up to the Luther Open next year, you MUST stop by the Toppling Goliath Brewery.
Since you threw it out there, tell me specifically what is wrong with Waterloo. I live there, lurk here. You picked the biggest city in Iowa and then just grabbed another city with <10% of the population of all the other cities you mentioned. I have and do walk the streets of Waterloo after dark. Have you/do you live there? I not jumping in the left/right red/blue crap, I just want to know why you chose to say compare Waterloo with the rest of what you said.
There are a bunch of great Iowa beers, TG for sure(all the Sues), but confluence DM IPA is waaaaay up there.
I worked there for a year. One of the roughest places I’ve lived.
Casey's pizza is terrible. Worse than frozen.
Slingshot by Backpocket out of the IC area. You’re welcome.
I didn't mind this one too bad. A little too sweet for perfection but drinkable. Big Grove Wild Eddy will work too if you can't find anything good.
Not my place to be critical of any of you Nancies sipping on your IPA’s (probably with citrus slices) because Lord knows I’ve made my share of embarrassing mistakes in life. But who has the best Iowa-made stout? A good beer is supposed to have some backbone.
