Taste Our QC Craft Beers

The Quad Cities brewing history goes back as far as 1847 when the first brewery opened in Rock Island, Illinois. Today, new crafters have hit the market to create a scene that is vibrant and continues to grow to all corners of our bi-state region.

Blaze an ale trail across the Quad Cities and experience our beers pint by pint, on the QC Ale Trail. Each establishment offers a taste of something real and original.

Come join us at any one of these breweries in the Quad Cities.

Front Street Taproom at the Freight House complex in downtown Davenport along the river. Enjoy a locally crafted beer and treat yourself to delicious food from Antonella's Pizzeria right next door.
