QC Ale Trail

QC Craft Beer Week | May 28–June 4

Sixteen years in, and the Quad Cities craft beer scene is still raising the bar.

Join us May 28–June 4 as we celebrate 16 years of local flavor, creative brews, and the breweries that continue to shape the region’s beer culture. With about 15 craft breweries across the region, there’s no better time to explore what makes the Quad Cities such a great place to sip.
