About
Enriching our communities through thoughtful beer experiences.

Peace Tree Brewing Company is dedicated to brewing handcrafted, full-flavored beers with a great attention to quality. Our brewery began in 2009 in a former Nash Rambler car dealership on Main Street in Knoxville, Iowa.

Head brewmaster Joe Kesteloot came to us with years of professional and home brewing experience and brought with him a true passion and creativity for developing his own unique recipes.

We held the grand opening for our 20-Bbl brewhouse in March 2010, and within a month, were producing and bottling our brews – hand-delivering them to stores, bars and restaurants around the state.

Brewing great beer is our passion, but we are also passionate about where we have come from and where we are going. The names of our beers often have connections to the places in our past, especially derived from memories and places in our community and our state.

Draft at Iowa Taproom. Slightly hazy yellow color, no head. Aroma shows me light wheat, saline solution and tart lemons. The flavor is light on the salt with lots of lasting tart lemon. Not over done with salt, just enough. Body is light and refreshing. Fine drinking gose.

Bottle. A- Mango, papaya, guava, peach, tropical fruits, caramel, pine. A- Orange color, clear liquid, white head. T- Caramel, pine, bitter, subtle tropical fruits. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, bitter finish. O- At first the aroma is of great tropical fruits that quickly fades with the head and turns caramel like. The taste is fairly bitter and plenty of caramel malt and pine with much less fruit. Pretty good. Might be great when super fresh.
