Description
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.

Can. Pours pitch opaque black with a medium brown head that dissipates with nice lacing. Aroma is coffee and dark roasted malt. Flavor its the same, medium sweet, light sourness that eventually becomes a bit offputting. Medium body.
