Growler Refill Trip

Gowler
After we enjoyed our time at Marquette,IA we cruised further south only a couple of miles to McGregor,IA to visit one of our favorite restaurants Old Man River Restaurant and Brewery. McGregor,IA has plenty of boat parking to offer and everything in town is only a short walk. As we blogged earlier we experienced some of the unique micro beers they have to offer so this time we decided to try a couple of other flavors. One flavor was named Pils which is a light golden lager with distinctive hops but to us it has a strong, heavy taste so it didn't qualify for a growler purchase. The other flavor we tried was the Marzen which is a German amber colored, malty flavored with a spicy finish and to us it was good, you could taste the bitterness to it along with a hint of spicy but again just didn't qualify this time for a growler purchase. So after we had dinner we refilled our original growlers with our favorites, Dunkel and Weizen,  but we will return again to try the Helles flavor and their own unique Old Man River Root Beer, these are very popular flavors because each time we have visited the brewery has been sold out. After dinner we walked the town and checked out some of their shops for some unique gifts and to see if we could find some antiques for our home.
