7 Best Craft Breweries near Ely

“A place where you can ride your bike and stop and get a brew or some food to ensure you have the strength to get back to where you started your bike trip. On Sunday afternoons they usually have some local bands playing. They have shade covers as well as an area to set along a bar outside.“

“On point Iowa beer. Very nice.“

“Stopped in on a random Saturday and Carly was an amazing host. she was fun and great to talk to. Had 2 "tastings" of 5 4oz oz pours. THE BEERS ARE AMAZING!! Bought some to go beers and cant wait to visit again(from Chicago burbs)!!!“

“Seriously where to begin… absolutely fantastic lunch and afternoon there with friends! Our waitress was top notch, probably one of the best, if not the best we’ve had anywhere. Anyone who can juggle our table of 6 adults and 4 kids (under 10) so flawlessly deserves a shoutout. HANNAH is a 10/10! We were able to have a tour of the brewery with Doug and Chad. They answered all our random questions about not just beer, but the culinary side of things as well, and made us feel like we’ve been friends for a long time. If the day wasn’t already great, add in the stellar beers/drinks and wonderful food too. We all live farther away (over an hour) but are already talking about when we can meet up at Big Grove again.“

“This place is amazing, the food is amazing (I recommend the bowser pizza) there is some nice games my favorite being probobaly NFL blitz and dig dug. And the girl serving us was trying her absolute best to server everyone props to her 👏.“

“As a former professional brewer and certified beer judge, I can honestly say that the beer at Field Day is as good as it gets. I sampled many of the lagers and IPA’s, and all were excellent. The Czech Pils was my favorite. The food is also great. We sampled the egg rolls and gyro loaded fries. Service was excellent. There were a couple of beer order snafus, but our server, Madi, made it right. The Iowa City area craft beer scene is great, and Field Day is at the top of my list. Great food, beer and service. And the atmosphere is really good, too.“
