There’s just so many good local options I have a hard time grabbing anything that isn’t super fresh that’s local.
I agree we have some great breweries in DM and most of the time that’s what I’m grabbing also but sometimes I like trying something different. I always check dates and untapped ratings before buying new ones.

I had a couple M-43 a couple years ago when visiting Michigan, and I did find it quite good. I can't say I've had the other Old Nation beer that will also be available in Iowa as well. The brewery has a good rep overall so I might try it as a change-up once in awhile, as long as we get them relatively fresh.

However I generally agree that for the most part I'm probably going to reach for something brewed in Iowa 9 times or more out of 10...mostly because it's more likely to be fresh, and I want to support Iowa breweries especially when I can do that and still get great beer.

I see Pipeworks is also coming to Iowa. I've had a few decent ones from them, but probably nothing I would seek out. Just noticed that I had my first one 10 years ago this month.
