A craft brewery in North Iowa, Mason City Brewing is the first brewery in Mason City in 130 years! We are open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 5 p.m. – 11 p.m. We feature 8 taps of beer brewed at our Mason City brewery and offer a flight to sample all 8, beer by the pint, and beer to take with you in growlers.

History

Established in 2013.

Mason City Brewing opened to the public on February 22, 2013, but the history starts a couple years earlier. In the spring of 2011, Arian Schuessler and his family took their annual family vacation – this year going to the Denver, Colorado area. Returning from that trip, Arian brought back a cooler filled with growlers of beers from Colorado area breweries and invited Jake Rajewsky and Justin Merritt over for a porch beer tasting. The three, not being big craft beer connoisseurs, were shocked by the complex and wide variety of flavors presented in the craft beers brought back from Colorado and immediately thought, “Why can’t we make something like this in North Iowa?”
