Adventurous Brewing

 

 

21+ only, which we did not see on the website but is posted out front, so heads up! This is the usual trending brewing in an old mechanical space with metal accents vibe. The beer is good but nothing wowed us, the ipas are the best work so there's that. Service is slow and not attentive, bartender was busy texting instead of refilling beers on a busy friday. Selection was ipa heavy but had all the trendy style represented, tasters offered

 

 

Located in the old paint store?/auto parts place? that was behind the old Dairy Queen in downtown Bettendorf.

Long, narrow space with plenty of windows and garage doors. Long bar with high tops behind it.

Mostly hazies and stouts on tap, around 12 taps or so. I had a couple different IPAs, they were solid.

Service was pleasant and fast, though there weren't too many people hanging around at 2:30pm on a Friday.

Adventurous' new taproom opened in the last few weeks, and it seems to be the current buzz of the Quad Cities and deservedly so. The quality of the beers we tried were top notch, IPA's and Stouts mostly, but a good lager as well. The decor was clean and modern with black furniture and a long counter in the window with stools to take in the view.

Beer selection was focused mostly on haze and pastry, but they did a nice coffee imperial stout and the aforementioned lager was enjoyable too. Took home a pair of sour pickle beers, which I hope I don't regret. The bartender was helpful and patient while putting together a flight of tasters.

Overall, the experience here was great, check them out if local or passing through.
