2023 XFL vs 2023 USFL
I don't know about anyone else, but to ME, the XFL is so much better because they DO play in their hometowns. I know that the USFL is attempting to abandon the "Play in Birmingham Only" strategy, but to date, they have not entirely abandoned it. Also, to me, the maturity of the players is...- cc1091

Just post the photo of the up to date brews on tap at each brewery you visit. MAKE SURE to POST the DATE of your visit!!!!! Some of these in the beginning should be a little out of order vs the date of visit -

Post Covid Kim/Derecho Brewery Survival series.
Some breweries are teetering on the brink of new changes: some for the better, others for the worse. Here is what I have. Please add what you know (especially bold new openings please.) 1. Millstream purchase is nearly finalized. Some talk of a name change? 2. Is Quarterbarrel in Cedar Rapids... -
2020 CR area brewries.
So the good news is that although most breweries in the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas have not been taken out by the "2020 CoronaVirus/Derecho/whatever else" pandemic, the bad news is that there have been some casualties. 1. Quarterbarrel. from what I've heard, is only open to scheduled... -
2020 B12 referees
Here we are several weeks into the season. I know that Texas and Oklahoma fans have criticized the referees for making so many calls in their games. Quite frankly, I've noted several crews that seem a little haphazard, but nothing exceptionally egregious in their play calling as most crews... -
Breweries to survive coronavirus?
I know of an Iowa brewery whose keg orders were all cancelled in one day because of the pandemic. Most breweries that already offered canning or bottling now have curbside delivery. I have heard of those who will fill growlers (I assume there are cleanliness restrictions). It is quite possible... -

I haven't been there yet, and had no idea that they were now open until a few days ago: House Divided Brewery 1620 Dows St, Ely, IA 52227 Ely is on the southern end of the bike trail that at least once stretched from Waterloo to Cedar Rapids (discovered in recent years that some of those... -
Granite City filing for Chapter 11
We all knew it was coming, just a matter of time. Unclear if this means they're all closing immediately or not. https://www.sctimes.com/story/news/local/2019/12/17/granite-city-food-brewery-chain-files-chapter-11-bankruptcy-st-cloud-dining-brewery-minnesota/2677313001/ -
Do you want to own a brewery?
Word has it that one important brewery within 30 miles of Cedar Rapids has been quietly put up For Sale. The current owners wish to fully immerse themselves in their latest venture and believe that selling a successful brewery is a way to do this. You will likely need to deal with handing out... -
Coach Campbell's favorite ISU Football team vs MY Favorite Campbell Coached ISU Football team(s).
I've often heard that this year's team is Coach Campbell's favorite team of the Iowa State teams he has coached. I have wondered what he really means by this? Because for me: - this team isn't as fun as the 2017 squad where Kyle Kempt emerged from nowhere into a leadership role as the rest of... -
Cedar Rapids/Iowa City corridor breweries 2019
Its already MAY! I thought we should have a new thread starting with the discovery that it is Cedar Rapids Craft Beer week. Apparently a number of beer related events around the area. I'm a little out of the loop on this, so anyone with more info should chime in. There is a website at... -
Which B12 Football team made the best new HC hire for 2019 season?
I know that all of these hires are potentially very good for each of their teams. I'm just wondering if any hire stands out for a majority of CF visitors. Perhaps in your comments, you can elaborate and also define who may be the 'worst' hire of the bunch.- cc1091

Fort Dodge Area Breweries.
Has anyone ever tried the product of the two listed Fort Dodge Breweries? Having tasted the water from the Fort Dodge area, it is hard to believe that these breweries will survive without severe water doctoring. HOWEVER, this is why Burton Salts were invented (to add Gypsum, Calcium Carbonate... -

Would have expected the moderators to create a poll about the new uniforms, so here's my attempt. -
New and On Tap.
I thought I would create a thread to comment on new specialty brews from various brewers. These should be "Specialty Brews" which are not a part of the brewery's normal lineup. Prefer you only post beers you consider to be 'masterworks' (not run down a specialty that only tastes average to... -
Cedar Rapids/Iowa City corridor breweries 2018
I'll start this by saying that I'm no longer going to try to keep up with what is going on in Iowa City/Coralville, so if anyone else wants to do a writeup on that area, have at it. Cedar Rapids: - Backpocket Pilot Pub - I visited this place twice when it first opened, and then again late last... -
I'm sorry, I just can't believe Baylor is in the news AGAIN!
Sorry, I must have missed it. February 16, 2018 article says Baylor Football is up to its same old tricks this past season (2017). Sexually assaulting members of its Equestrian team. When is the Big 12 and NCAA going to do something about Baylor Football... -
Is the Brewery era over?
Wondering if the era of new microbreweries is at its end? What do you think? Within the last few days, these announced closings: - Broad Street Brewing in Rheinbeck, Iowa. - Another Road Brewing in Marion, Iowa (uncertain about their 'new' brewing facility in Cedar Rapids) - Rock Bottom in Des...
