Iowa Craft Brew Festival Set for June 16 on Locust St. Bridge
The Iowa Brewers Guild announces the second annual Iowa Craft Brew Festival will be
held on Saturday, June 16 from 1:00-5:00pm on the Locust St. bridge in downtown Des
Moines.
The event will feature more than 25 Iowa breweries and 100+ craft beers, along with a
host of regional and national micro-brews. Craft beer lovers will enjoy unlimited beer
samplings, live music, food, and a wide variety of special brews exclusive to the Iowa
Craft Brew Festival.
After a sell-out inaugural event last year, the festival has been moved to the Locust St.
Bridge from its previous location at 10th and Walnut, to have more space and
accommodate additional people.
“The second annual Iowa Craft Brew Festival marks a significant shift in the Iowa beer
industry,” says Dave Coy, Iowa Brewers Guild president and head brewer at Raccoon
River Brewing Co. “More breweries are launching in Iowa, companies are distributing Iowa beer throughout the Midwest, brewers are
winning national awards, and many Iowans are choosing to drink local. The Iowa Craft Brew Festival is an opportunity for craft beer
lovers to experience all that Iowa breweries have to offer, as well as mix in some favorite regional and national micro-brews. We’re looking
forward to another great year.”
Advance VIP ($25) and general admission ($20) tickets are on sale now at http://midwestix.com. VIP pass holders get exclusive early
access into the festival to beat the crowds from 1:00-2:00pm. There are a limited number of VIP passes available and will not be sold day
