Established in 2009, Peace Tree Brewing Co. is a premium, independent, woman-owned brewery rooted in Knoxville, Iowa that is evolving the art and science of brewing. We have won two prestigious, gold medal awards for our Blonde Fatale and Get a Little Hazy beers and hold a Green Brewery award. We have taprooms in Knoxville and Des Moines. 

With Founder and CEO Megan McKay leading the way, our brewery is focused on delivering high-quality, hand-crafted beers and sodas. We take pride in the fact we’re one of Iowa’s first craft breweries and the first 100 percent woman-owned brewery in the state.

Our Founder was born and raised in Knoxville where the brewery and original taproom operate today. Located 30 minutes south of Interstate 80 and ten minutes from Red Rock Lake, we’re known for our mission of bringing great beer, art, and life to this small community. 

The brewery began in 2009 in a former Nash Rambler car dealership on Main Street. It’s an intimate, family-friendly pub that’s known as a gathering place for friends and family to enjoy Peace Tree’s fresh, local beer. 

In 2017, we opened a second taproom in Des Moines’ East Village. It’s an industrial yet cozy space located in a renovated Quonset hut in the East Village in downtown Des Moines. The family-friendly space has a relaxed atmosphere and is a popular place to gather and host events with co-workers, friends, and family. 

For those who can’t make it to our taprooms, our beers can be found at hundreds of stores, restaurants, and bars throughout Iowa and Nebraska. Our flagship beers include Red Rambler, Blonde Fatale, Slightly Blonde, Get a Little Hazy, Lake Loop, East Village, Grapefruit Groove.
