Iowa Brewers Union, Des Moines, IA (2026)

The Iowa Brewers Union meets every 3rd Monday of the month in Des Moines, IA. At our meetings, we go over our current events and anything related to us brewing. We'll sometimes have speakers come by to tell us about their product or events/issues. We'll also compare styles and obviously drink each others brew, along with talking about topics that help us all brew better beer. Many of our members a

re now BJCP judges that help judge competitions around the mid-west. Our club produces so much beer that we serve our own samples of home brews at many local events and charities around the state of Iowa. We've participated in the 'Iowa Beer Festival' held in Amana, IA, charity events for the 'Living of History Farms' in Des Moines, events at the Salisbury House in Des Moines. Also, the IBU even has its own successful home brew serving night (Jimmy Carter Happy Hour) at its meeting location 'El Bait Shop', where every Thursday night, different IBU members use the club jockey boxes to serve customers samples their own local home brew.
