Toppling Goliath Brewing Co. sits in Decorah, Iowa, where the locals have learned that the only thing bigger than their wheat fields is the brewery’s ambition. Founded in 2009 by Clark and Barbara Lewey (the Leweys have been brewing together since their college days), the operation quickly earned a #2 ranking on Beer Advocate, a testament to the precision they bring to every kettle‑ful.
With a rotating roster of more than 40 beers a year, the place is a playground for hop addicts and malt purists alike. Their IPAs win awards with the casual ease of a champion sprinter, while the Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout has held the world’s #1 spot since 2015—proof that a stout can be as elegant as a tuxedo. The taproom, spacious and fire‑lit, serves cheese curds, quirky sandwiches, and even Merry Rain, a cannabis‑infused sparkling water that adds a modern twist to the usual bar fare. Growlers, kegs and barrel‑aged gems are always on hand, and Tuesday night bingo keeps the crowd buzzing as much as the beer.
Beyond the foam, Toppling Goliath is a community engine, backing local projects and fostering camaraderie among anyone who appreciates a well‑crafted pint. It’s not just a brewery; it’s a celebration of quality, creativity, and a little bit of good‑natured bravado.
Toppling Goliath Brewing Co is a popular destination with an excellent atmosphere and service. The taproom offers a vast selection of beers, including IPAs and barrel-aged brews. Food options are also available, with some reviewers raving about the cheese curds and salads.
