Hot Air Brewing
Creston's own craft brewery — a Travel Iowa recommended stop
About Hot Air Brewing
Named in honor of Creston's signature Balloon Days festival, Hot Air Brewing is the city's own craft brewery — a community gathering place serving small-batch ales and lagers brewed right here in southwest Iowa.
Travel Iowa recommends Hot Air Brewing as a must-visit stop in Creston, and locals would agree.
The Beer
Rotating taps featuring house-brewed ales, lagers, and seasonal specialties. The brewing program celebrates local ingredients and Iowa character — approachable enough for casual drinkers, interesting enough for craft beer enthusiasts.
The Name
"Hot Air" is a loving nod to Creston's most beloved annual tradition — the Creston/Southwest Iowa Balloon Days festival held every September. It's the kind of name only a true Creston institution could pull off.
The Atmosphere
A neighborhood brewery in the truest sense. Conversations happen, community is built, and Creston feels a little more like home with every pint. A great stop before or after the Mural Walk.
