Nestled in the historic heart of Mason City, Fat Hill Brewing is a haven for craft beer enthusiasts and community seekers alike. Since 2016, this locally owned gem has been serving up a rotating tapestry of innovative brews that blend traditional techniques with creative twists. From the richness of a doppelbock to the vibrant uniqueness of a saisson infused with hibiscus, every sip tells a story. Their commitment to Iowa's bounty shines through with ingredients like wildflower honey and aronia berries, crafting beers that are as much about place as they are about flavor. The taproom, with its 16 taps and lively atmosphere, isn't just a place to drink—it's where the community comes alive through live music, book clubs, and knitting circles. Fat Hill Brewing is more than a brewery; it's a gathering ground, a place where tradition meets innovation and where every pint is a testament to the beauty of local craftsmanship.
