Every year the Quad Cities celebrates QC Craft Beer Week, which highlights and supports local breweries.
From May 10-15 craft-brew fans will celebrate local establishments in different parts of the Quad Cities. As the QC craft brew scene continues to grow, this week is your chance to experience the new ones you may not have tried or frequent your old favorite. (Check them out individually to see what their to-go options are)
Moline breweries are being featured on Friday, the fifth day of QC Craft Beer Week:
- Bent River Brew Pub located at 1413 5th Avenue
- Galena Brewing Co. Ale House located at 1534 River Drive
- Rebellion Brew Haus located at 1529 3rd Avenue A
“Craft Beer, our breweries, and the QC Ale Trail are important to how we activate the regional destination,” said Dave Herrell, President and CEO, Visit Quad Cities. “It is proven that communities that have a strong local craft industry and scene are more successful in the tourism, economic development, and placemaking space. We need to continue to develop and focus on this strategy as we position the QC for people attraction and retention.”
QC Beer Week began in 2011 by the local home brewing club, MUGZ.
At the end of the week, there will be a QC Tape Takeover, hosted at Five Cities Brewing in Bettendorf. Here’s what’s going to be on tap.
