Beer Description
At the turn of the 20th century, Des Moines Brewing Co. crafted Old Tavern Beer—a beloved local lager known for its quality and crisp, easy-drinking character.
Brewed in the building now known as 300mlk in the heart of Des Moines, Old Tavern quickly became a staple libation across Iowa in the early 1900s—until the dry wind of Prohibition swept through, forcing the brewery to close its doors.
While the Old Tavern name changed hands a number of times over the following decades, its proud Iowan spirit was ultimately lost to time.
