Locally owned and operated. Every drop brewed and canned on site at GRB.

We are a family owned craft brewery that began in 2004 in Iowa City and moved to our present location in Davenport in 2009. Our owners are the brewers and 100% of our beer is brewed here at our location in Davenport. We also can our beers and craft sodas on site. We have a small tasting room and a large patio with views of the roller dam on the Mississippi River. Once a month we hold a tasting party to introduce our newest seasonal or small batch beers.

Location: Can at Paul's Blind Impy Stout Tasting, 1/5/13

Aroma: The nose is resiny hops hops, with some pine and citrus
Appearance: Pours a caramel-orange color with a small head and drippy lace
Flavor: The taste is a bit sweet, mostly hoppy, nicely resiny flavor
Palate: The body is medium, leaning a touch light, with a smooth, clean feel
Overall Impression: I thought this was surprisingly nice IPA with a really solid resiny feel to it. It was much better then I expected when I first saw the can. It was also a much need hop hit in the mists of an Imperial Stout tasting. Finally, it helps my tick the state of Iowa. All-in-all, a success canned IPA.
