My thoughts were that the Iowa Tap Room could be a good Brew/Pub for the Cytown location. They rotate seasonal beers from across the state plus I have had pretty good food there.

In the announcement TG said they were focusing on brewing, no longer expansion.

Probably still a slight possibility but seems unlikely.
The craft beer scene appears to be on the decline, or at least found a peak. Guessing these breweries need to start cutting back some
Des Moines has an insane amount of craft breweries. I think the ones that have great food (Lua) will last. It's going to be tough to stick around one your beer alone (Peace Tree) unless it's exceptional (Confluence).

Doesn't have to be a copy of Iowa Taproom. Just let Full Court Press open an ISU themed bar with lots of craft beer options and they will knock it out of the park.

The team that run Either/Or and Lua Brewing down in Des Moines would be perfect. Lua even won some national award recently. Food is awesome and their beer is great
That's the best run craft brewery in Des Moines imo. They don't have the beer selection of Confluence, but what they have is all really good, and the food is far better than any others out there.
