Old Man River is the proud brewer of Einfach beer. We strive to provide Iowa with a simple, yet incredibly enjoyable world class beer. In this cyber-hyped-up world, we often lose track of the simple pleasures in life. The joy found when we unplug our lives and remember the value of doing things the right way. That is how we make our beer. Brewed following the German Purity Laws of 1516, you won’t find anything but water, hops, malted barley and yeast. So go ahead and enjoy this symphony of simplicity. Enjoy Einfach beer.
The Old Man River Restaurant and Brewery is located on the Iowa shores of the Mississippi in the historic town of McGregor. Surrounded on all sides by towering bluffs and the waters of the original “Old Man River”, the views are a sight to behold. We combine this unique atmosphere with the highest quality of food, service, and of course beer. We hope you come and visit us.
Our beers are brewed in accordance with German tradition. We use an intensive decoction mash to bring out a rich malt profile and keep with the Purity Laws to brew a beer free of preservatives and additives.
Helles – German for light, but don’t be fooled, this is no “light” beer. The Germans called in light due to is golden color, not its taste, which is a simple yet full malt profile that is perfectly complemented by a delicate addition of hops. It simply is the perfect anytime beer.
Dunkel – German for dark, this is anything but your “average” dark beer. It combines the robust roasted malt profile with a medium body and smooth finish. The result is a dark beer you can drink all night long. It is a dark beer for those who don’t like dark beers.
Weizen – German for wheat. This beer has a unique spicy aroma that many refer to as clove. Worry not. As with all our beers, the Weizen adheres to the purity laws so there is only grain, hops, water and yeast. It is the unique yeast strain we use that produces the distinctive clove aroma. This makes for a flavorful beer perfect for warm summer months.
Pils – Our hoppiest regular beer. This style was first brewed in the town of Pilsner and has since become famous the world over. Over time its widespread popularity has lead to a great number of variations. However, our Pils remains true to the original old world heritage that created it.
Seasonal – Every season is full of its own simple pleasures. The beer that goes with any given weather is no exception. This last beer is always changing as we here in Iowa go thru some extreme seasons. You need to come in to find what the latest brew is.
