I was staying in the area for business, and was thrilled that I had a few breweries within walking distance from my hotel! I went to Second State one night before dinner. Very quiet at 5pm on a weeknight. I went to the bar and the gal let me try several samples. We chatted quite a bit about the beers, and my business trip to Waterloo! Their beer was good. I tried around 6 before I committed to a pint. After I ordered a pint, I went outside to sit since it was a sunny day. (My visit was in the spring). I ended up having 2 pints, and then I bought a glass for a souvenir to take home. If you're staying in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by for a pint.... or 4! Good beers and cool spot to hang in Cedar Falls. read more
