Olde Main Brewing Co. pours into Iowa City and Cedar Rapids
Ames-based brewery hopes to tap into popular demand
AMES, Iowa (April 21, 2009) – Olde Main Brewing Co., the second largest brewer in Iowa, today announced that Dinkey Wheat, Long Face, and Off KILTer will be available throughout the Iowa City and Cedar Rapids area beginning today. The launch of the bottled product in the region will hit bars, restaurants, and retail stores over the next few weeks.
The release of Olde Main into Iowa City and Cedar Rapids comes eleven months after starting a bottling line and distributing to nearly 350 locations across Iowa. Olde Main currently distributes to about half of the state, including Council Bluffs, Des Moines, Carroll, Dubuque, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and now Iowa City and Cedar Rapids.
Olde Main Brewing Co. & Restaurant opened its doors in October 2004. Word has spread across Iowa and Olde Main has been growing ever since. Beer production has doubled every year and for the first time in 2008, beer lovers were introduced to Olde Main outside the Ames restaurant and brewpub. Now, there are plans in place to build an off-site brewing facility to keep up with demand.
Olde Main brews six styles of beer, along with a root beer and various seasonals throughout the year. Three varieties are currently offered in bottles – Dinkey Wheat, Long Face, and Off KILTer. Additional styles will be released in bottles later this year.
Olde Main is partnering with Dale Lee Distributing to offer the following Olde Main brews in bars, restaurants, and retail stores.
Dinkey Wheat, Belgian Style Wheat Ale – Named for the train that used to run from downtown Ames to the ISU Campus, the Dinkey Wheat has a flavor derived from coriander, chamomile, and orange peel, making for an enjoyable and unique drinking experience.
Long Face, Amber Ale - A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Why the long face?" An all around easy drinking, tasty beverage with malt and notable caramel flavors balanced by several American hop varieties.
Off KILTer, Scottish Ale - This traditional Scottish Ale has a subdued hop flavor and aroma with a high in malt flavor. Our brew master actually wears a kilt while brewing this ale to achieve maximum Scottish feel and tradition.
