You’ve got Q’s, we’ve got A’s.
What the hell does Thew even mean?
The word "thew" (rhymes with "you", not "blue") is a Middle English word for strength and vitality. Originally suggested in jest, we quickly realized that the word perfectly described us: a company dedicated to infusing strength and vitality into our community. With consistent involvement with local businesses, charities, non-profits, and outreach programs, we aim to make everywhere we visit a little better than we found it.
Where can I park?
Parking is available in the private lot behind our building and in the city-owned lot behind our lot (under I-380). Ample street parking is also available on 2nd Avenue SW.
Are bicycle racks available?
Yes! We have a rack front and center right outside of the taproom for safe keeping.
Is your taproom handicap accessible?
Yes! Our taproom and restrooms are handicap accessible, and there is designated handicap parking in our lot.
Is my pet allowed in your taproom?
Sorry - while we love animals of all shapes and sizes, Iowa law says no.
Are minors welcome?
Minor guests are welcome, if accompanied by an adult, until 7:00 p.m. Cedar Rapids city code dictates that no minors may be in our establishment after that time. When bringing in your children, please remember that our taproom provides nearly
exclusively beer and then decide if the setting is appropriate.
When I arrive, how will I get my beer?
Our bartenders will serve you at the bar. If you don’t want to belly up, come up to the bar to get your beer, open your tab, and then seat yourself at one of our many tables or in our lounge seating area.
Do you serve food?
Yes! We offer Pasquale's pizza, beer cheese made with our beer, popcorn, and other snacks. If you're looking for something else, outside food is welcome!
Will I be able to watch the big game in your taproom?
Yep. We love sports, and regularly have specials during games.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept cash and all major credit cards. An ATM is available on-site.
Can I tour the brewery?
We do not currently offer tours of our brewery, but watch our events page as tours will pop up from time to time.
Will you host my private event?
Definitely! Private events are subject to availability and may not be offered at peak times. Our taproom has capacity for up to 75 guests for your event. Contact
[email protected] for details. Be sure to include the date and time of your event
and anticipated number of people in your party.
Can you make a custom beer for my establishment?
You bet! Details on our Brew For You program are
