Known for a full range of styles

Founded in 2012 in Cedar Falls with a second location in Des Moines, SingleSpeed is named for the simplicity and purity of single-speed cycling. Their Tip the Cow Milk Stout won the Iowa Beer Brackets in 2019 and reached the Final Four again — making it the most decorated beer in the competition's history. The cycling theme runs through everything: taproom design, beer names and community events.
