Founded in 2013 in Solon, Iowa, Big Grove Brewery came to Iowa City several year later and has become a staple of the local cycling community with their award-winning craft beer, good food, and charitable goodwill. Big Grove strive to be intentional with their “good giving” and has committed the majority of their charitable efforts to focus on three core categories: preserving and building parks and natural reserves, environmental conservation and sustainability, and promoting outdoor activity. They believe that by protecting our natural resources and community spaces, we can brew better beer and create better a community.
They provided a space for Cranksgiving to have our initial event in 2019, and we're honored that they remain with us still. When you're looking for a place after a long ride, or a short jaunt on the Iowa City trails, head over to Big Grove, relax on the outdoor patio.
