This has to be one of the best places to drink craft beer in Iowa. There is alot of great beer in…read morethe area but it is also the owners that makes this place wonderful. I have been known to make the hour long drive for a couple beers here then head home. I think it is the setting of an old barn that makes it unique and a joy to sit, drink, and talk to the owners and patrons.

Oh man, where to start on this place! I came over Memorial Day with some friends for a girls trip…read more We stayed at the Gehlen House Inn which is owned by the same couple as the barn brewery. I can't rate that in Yelp but just know it was a great stay, we met so many cool people staying there too, and you should stay there if you come up to check out the barn. Onto the barn! This place has a rich history and I'm so impressed with the way they've maintained the original charm of the barn and grounds while also renovating with modern conveniences. There was a lot of time and effort put into this place! They have a substantial craft beer list, the top ones for me were the pina colada and the deeamsicle, but my friends had many others they enjoyed too. There are beers for sale to take home, and lots of merch and swag. They serve pizza if you want to nosh on something with your beer. We got a Reuben pizza to split and it was great! The owners and employees were caring, kind, and took time to explain the beers and make sure we were well taken care of. Our group couldn't say enough good things about this place!

As the name says, it does look like a saloon. A terrific job was done to give it that appearance. There are booths to sit at with a T.V. at each one. I like this. I ordered the fish and it tasted great!!! So were the fries and coleslaw. The burgers were juicy full of flavor. Not dry. The beer prices are affordable. You can even go outside to eat and drink. A pool table and dart board are also provided for your fun. After my experience last night. I think I'll have to visit Charlotte more often. With this place in mind.

I stumbled across this place after making plans to have dinner with some friends at Rudy's Tacos, which is housed in the same corner building. This bar is located directly across the hall from the Lava Lounge and I believe has the same owners. Arriving early on a Tuesday evening there were a few people in the Lava Lounge but no one yet at the Beer Hall. While waiting for a third friend to arrive we bellied up to the bar and were attended to by a great bartender who knew his beer. The bartenders floated between the bars on an as needed basis and one could order something on tap from either bar. Very easy going, very friendly. Now about the beer. Between the two places there were approximately 10 taps including beers from Jolly Pumpkin, Tool and Brouwerij Bavik (Petrus Oud Bruin) and bottles and cans ranging from $2 Grain Belt Nordeast to Bourbon County Brand Stout to Duchesse de Bourgogne. Since I was just back in town visiting I can't speak to the prices very well but they seemed reasonable. On Thursdays they apparently offer beer from another neighbor in the same building, Guerrilla Brewing Company. I wasn't around long enough to give that a try but certainly hope to on the next visit.
