Lake Time Brewery

Repurposed house that is now the brewery and taproom. Multiple rooms and an outside patio. Street parking and nearby parking lots. Rooms have walls painted harvest yellow, off white ceilings, and varying wood floors. Short bar for ordering. Varied seating with tables, sofas, and chairs. Ten taps, with some style variety. Friendly and informative staff. Offers cans to go. Small town feel, with customers who do the meet and greet.

Situated in Clear Lake, Iowa, not far from the lake the town is named after. I visited in 2020 - the year from hell.

Nice outdoor seating. Staff was friendly as heck. Beer tap last was long, and it was tough to chose beers to try there, because I wanted a lot more than I should have had there, since I was driving... lucky me. I did chose a flight of 4 and they were all top notch. They had a ton of cans to take home, and it's nice to be able to chose 6/4 pack 12 oz cans to go, since I'm from Minnesota - The State Where Absolutely Nothing Is Allowed.

I will be back again, and will be enjoying their beers. I so recommend the place, and it's not that far from major metro areas. I drove from the St. cloud Metro - over 3 hours, with good friends - to enjoy it.

 

 

Strange location as it shares the house (that's right, a house) with a realtor. Lots of locals and you kind of want to know a regular to fit in. Decent selection of house-made brews and some bottled randoms. Very laid back and easy going staff.

This place has a great selection, and Bob knows what he's doing. The beers are always rotating and each one is better than the next. They always have a selection good enough for everyone's taste. This is a great place for great beer. Come here if you like beer!
