Friday Drankin’: Backpocket Brewing

Related Topics: Iowa, Iowa City

Friday Drankin’ is back! For any newcomers, this column is dedicated to craft brewing since few things are better than a nice cold beer during a tailgate. Craft beer is better too, because I am too old and make too much money to drink cheap beer like Budweiser. What I like to do is feature a local brewery located in the city of our opponents. Since we play Iowa every year we have already done ReUnion Brewing and Big Grove Brewing, so I needed to find a third Iowa City brewery.

Enter Backpocket Brewing in nearby Coralville:

The truth is you can tell a lot about a man by what he keeps in his back pocket - a useful pocketknife, a lucky coin, a worn out photo from an old love that has never died.
