Listen here buddy boy, if we are talking worst breweries in the State, Olde Main needs to be mentioned.backpocket is the second worst brewery in Iowa since the one in Oelwein closed. Hampton’s is number 1 worst.
That place is hot garbage.

Iowa City had Fitzpatrick's as well.

You've got to be related to the Tursi's. You were beating that drum before you were old enough to go into breweries.Exile is the best in the metro by far IMO. That Nebula IPA is gold.

Yeah I like them too, and I think when it comes to a food quality+beer quality, they are doing really well. But to say its the best BY FAR is a little ridiculous.Yup. I like Exile for the most part, but 21 has been blowing them from the get go, and their improvements have been fairly recent
Olde Main is bad. There was one in Okoboji that was terrible, opened prior to West O. Okoboji Brewing, I think. No clue if they are still there or not. Second State in Cedar Falls was pretty blah in my only visit. CabCO beer has never impressed me much either.
Most bad breweries fail pretty quickly these days, so (with a couple notable exceptions) there aren’t that many going at a given time in Iowa. Seems that the ones that suck die before I get around to trying it.
Edited my post, just after you replied. Psuedo Sue comes to mind as a flagship hoppy beer that like. If your flagship is an IPA, you're probably lower on my list. Pulpit was great, but they didn't seem to have flagships, just constantly changing list of experimental beers. I was only there once.

I sure do miss breweries like Alluvial when I lived in Ames. Olde Main and Torrent were stinkers though.
The closest one to me now is Mankato Brewery, which I'm pretty sure just gets skunked stuff from New Ulm and re-bottles it. Or maybe they just throw in some Japanese beetles and ladybugs when their hops are added. I don't know.
