SingleSpeed Brewing in Cedar Falls, Iowa, is the sort of place that makes you wonder why anyone would ever bother with a kitchen at home. Their nacho deal comes with two beers on tap – a cheeky nod to the fact that good food is pointless without a proper pint to accompany it. Outside, a sun‑splashed patio on Main Street turns people‑watching into a sport, and the atmosphere is as lively as a barroom chorus after a flawless chorus.
Inside, the real adventure begins. Experimental brews line the taps, daring the curious to try something that will probably surprise their palate (the founders, who clearly love hoppy experiments, keep the ideas flowing). The ZMD Stout deserves a paragraph of its own – it’s an intense, full‑flavored monster that makes you forget you ever liked anything lighter. What’s more, SingleSpeed releases new, popular styles on a regular basis, proving that consistency and innovation can sit side‑by‑side without tripping over each other. In short, it’s a brewery that takes its craft seriously while still having a good laugh at pretentiousness – and that, frankly, is a rare combination.
Reviewers praise SingleSpeed Brewing Cedar Falls Taproom for its great beers, welcoming atmosphere, and friendly service. The taproom's patio in summer, experimental beers, and specialty brews like ZMD and Zach's Mexican Donut impress fans of craft beer.
