We opened our doors in Solon, Iowa on Labor Day weekend 2013—not knowing what would become of our small brewery, now nearly 10 years later. Thank you for being a part of the magic. Our menu is an expression of growing up in Iowa, a mix of old tradition and new, but always served with warm hospitality. Our food is authentically prepared with attention to detail and sources home-grown ingredients whenever possible. - Doug, Matt, Ben, and the Big Grove Family Iowa City's Big Grove Brewery and Taproom is a 28,000 sq-ft brewery, restaurant and entertainment venue. Stop in for one of our award-winning beers on tap and enjoy casual dining from a menu of street-food inspired small plates and sandwiches. Choose your own adventure with a game of ping pong, foosball, or shuffleboard and soak in some live music. Our outdoor space is never closed; if you’re up to it, have at it. Enjoy our outdoor, dog-friendly patio and lawn. The lawn features bocce ball courts, bags, a kids play area and anything else you can imagine. Kick back with friends, sip on a beer and enjoy a beautiful Iowa sunset around one of our five patio fire pits. #ThirstyHappens
