Farmhand Brewing Company in Earling, Iowa, is the sort of place that makes you think the gods of barley and hops have a sense of humor. Sitting proudly on the corner of Main Street in a big red building, it serves up more than a cold one – it hands you a love‑letter to craft beer lovers via a tap list that could make a pretentious sommelier blush.
The menu isn’t limited to beer; Iowa‑sourced cocktails sit alongside Roberto’s famously greasy‑good pizzas, which you can whisk away for takeout (the perfect excuse to avoid doing dishes). The farmhouse vibe of the taproom is matched only by the Midwestern friendliness of the staff, who can steer you toward a great English Bitter or suggest a daring liquor pairing without a hint of condescension.
What sets this place apart is the sheer variety you’d expect from a city brewery, compressed into a small‑town setting, and the knowledgeable crew who seem to have memorised every grain bill. It’s a rare blend of craftsmanship, community spirit, and unpretentious charm that makes Farmhand a genuine gem in Shelby County.
Reviewers praise Farmhand Brewing Company for its welcoming atmosphere, excellent beer selection, and knowledgeable staff. Many enjoyed talking with bartenders and brewers, finding common ground in shared passions and interests, amidst a genuine Midwestern hospitality.
