Hello, NoCoast Nation. It’s been a wild ride of a month here at Iowa’s newest brewery, and we’re happy that you’ve been a part of it.

Welcome to the blog! This is where you’ll find updates, information about events, and the deep and insightful thoughts of our very own brewers. We’ll try to keep it real. To start us off, here are ten exciting facts about NoCoast Beer Co.

1. 6 of our 8 intended lineup of delicious brews are currently in cans. We hope to introduce our Take a Chill Pilsner and the Agricultured Rye Porter to you soon.

3. To celebrate our launch, the brew crew hosted a brewhouse christening and a bottle was ceremoniously broken for good luck.
