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.

Cornucopia from Peace Tree Brewing Company
11 years ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
22 oz bomber from HyVee, Ankeny, IA. Label also mentions brewing south corn stalks, also a good fermentable. Slightly toasty sweet corn nose under the cap. In the glass, more corn and malt Saison sweetness, with a bit of fruity esters and wheat malt. Cloudy yellow beer under a thin, transitory head. Taste is sweet, of course, mostly from the malt. The corn, of course, adds to the alcohol, but does not overdo it. Dregs of yeast in bottle add just a little bite at the end. Flirts on the edge of being cloying and "hot". Very likable result of trying different fermentation.
