(Downtown, Des Moines, IA)
Scooter’s 1313th bar, first visited in 2019.
I tried to visit this place a couple of years ago, but some sort of bike event/street party (not RAGBRAI) made it so crowded I decided to save it for another day.
This craft beer bar has 99 taps, all serving beer only from breweries in Iowa. There is partially-covered outdoor seating available in the alley. They do serve food, but that’s not why I was there.
I could have easily stayed here until close, but alas I only had 45 minutes before I would have to leave to rejoin my group. So I had as many 4oz pours as I could during that time.
What I drank:
- Oreo Speed Wagon by Lake Time Brewery (milk stout)
- De Olla BA Rye Imperial Stout by Keg Creek Brewing Company
- CocO Stout by West O Beer
- Rhymes With Orange by Brightside Aleworks (stout)
- Electric Banshee by ReUnion Brewery (stout)
- Freedom Toast by Madhouse Brewing Company (Jesus Christ, this bourbon maple barrel-aged Wee-Heavy with cinnamon and vanilla stuck with me for two days!)
- V.I.P. by Madhouse Brewing Company (imperial porter)
