Twisted Vine Brewery in Des Moines, Iowa is a fantastic stop for craft beer lovers. On a recent visit, I came specifically to try a couple of their IPAs, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Big Citra IPA and the Whadda Juicebag 2.0 IPA — both were fresh, aromatic, and bursting with hop flavor. The Big Citra had a bold citrus punch with a smooth finish, while the Whadda Juicebag 2.0 delivered juicy tropical notes that make it a perfect warm-weather beer.
The brewery is housed in a beautiful large timber-frame building that gives off a rustic yet modern vibe. It’s spacious, comfortable, and has a great layout for groups or solo visits. There’s also a nice patio area for those who prefer to enjoy their beer outdoors, which I’ll definitely try next time.
Service was friendly and efficient, and the staff seemed knowledgeable about the beer selection. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it an ideal spot to unwind.
If you’re visiting Des Moines and enjoy Iowa craft beer, Twisted Vine Brewery is worth adding to your list. Come for the unique IPAs, stay for the atmosphere, and be sure to explore their rotating tap list for more local favorites. Highly recommend for beer fans looking for a quality brewery experience.

Contacted company as a possible venue for my wedding. 10 days ago, I was informed my date was available. I replied that day asking about reservation prices. Never heard back. I followed up today, only to find out they aren't accepting reservations, after stating my date was available a week ago. Not "sorry we filled the space", not "we will start accepting reservations for that time frame on (insert date or time frame here)".
Just "sorry to inconvenience you" without any reason why a week ago it was something that could be discussed, but now my money and business isnt good enough...
I'm sure no one else will have this experience, but that doesn't seem like the best way to attract customers. I have never been here for anything, but now I never will. Sorry to inconvenience you :)

I found this brewery from Craftapped and from the time I walked in I felt uncomfortable. There was no one else but wanted to hold my CC. The bartender when has 1 person was more focused on his phone. Unfortunately this would be a great venue for lots of things but lacking a lot.

It's a friend owned business, and he's got a great thing going with TVB. Check the place out. It's a great environment and the beer is quite tasty.

Hello It's me
It's in a developing neighborhood area that has great brews and great atmosphere,
I got to see an informative presentation by a guest that was hosted by the urban ambassadors group who have monthly meetings on sustainability!! I had a chance to chat with like-minded individuals while having a great Brew
We join the monthly trivia night for a fun night out with friends. This is a relaxing place for some very good micro brew beers. The only minor downside is they don't offer food items, however there are some nearby places to buy food and you can bring food in to enjoy along with their beverages.

Large space in a renovated old building, brick and thick wooden beams - very nice, 30 taps, mostly own beer, decent beer, good unobtrusive service, flights available
