Clock House Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Cedar Rapids IA)

Clock House Brewing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa is the sort of place that makes you wonder how long the rest of the world has been missing out. The moment you step inside, you’re greeted not by stale bar chatter but by a kitchen dishing out delicious non‑pub fare that could convince a vegetarian to reconsider their life choices. The food is unapologetically good, and it never tries to out‑shine the beer—because there’s plenty of it to go round.

The tap list is a rotating carnival of twelve carefully curated brews, each change a subtle reminder that the folks behind the bar take their craft seriously while still having a laugh. From hop‑forward IPAs to buttery stouts, there really is something for every palate. The real show‑stoppers, however, are the sour beers—sharp, lively, and astonishingly balanced, they could convert even the most stubborn malt‑snob. (The founders, who once tried to brew a beer in a bathtub, learned early on that precision matters.)

In short, Clock House delivers quality, variety, and a splash of humour, proving that great beer and great food needn’t belong to the same pretentious institution.
