Olde Main Brewing Company

I went back to Ames, Iowa this weekend to enjoy a football game (we won!) and catch up with some old friends. I was especially pleased to see that a brewery and brew pub has been built in downtown Ames. I didn't have the opportunity to visit Olde Main Brewing Co. on this trip, but I did sample the Olde Main Scottish Ale over pizza at Welch Avenue Station, where a few varieties were on tap. And the Scottish was…well, it wasn't great. It was a Scottish, for sure—a hint of smoky flavor, but pretty thin and a bit sour (cleaner in the tap lines, I'd wager). Anyway, it was encouraging to see a genuine brewery in Ames. Kudos, Olde Main!
