I'm originally from West, Texas - a Czech town where "pivo" just means "beer". And I think that's a great name for this brewery, where the selection of pivo is HUGE. The most beer-savvy in my group raved about how each beer they tried was "on point", i.e. a textbook example of that kind of beer. My Cuban sandwich was very tasty, though a bit small. Our server was nice and did a good job. Although I didn't find a new must-have beer, it was definitely worth stopping by.
In the tiny town of Calmar, IA they're making some damned fine beer! Very nice facility, locally owned with fun art to buy as well as the usual brewery swag. We went with a flight, each different so we were able to sample like 8 different beers! All were just terrific! Worth the drive from wherever you are!
Easy to get to, plenty of parking and large dining/drinking area with friendly staff makes this a great place to visit. We did not dine but rather we were interested in doing flights. Beer had interesting names using the names of towns in the area making it fun as we were familiar with most. Our brews were really good and there was a wide variety to choose from. We will go back again and will to recommend the brewery.
