Clock House Brewing is a brewery in Cedar Rapids, IA, housed in the historic 107-year-old Clock House Building, situated between the Cedar River and the heart of downtown. The brewery offers a rotating selection of craft brews, a dog-friendly patio with two levels, and a small, locally inspired menu prepared by the Black Sheep kitchen. It serves guests Tuesday through Saturday, with extended hours on weekends, and provides to-go growlers and cans exclusively in its taproom. Known for warm hospitality and quality beer, Clock House Brewing has earned a 4.80 rating from customers.
The brewery was founded by Todd Viall, a home brewer since 1994, whose passion for craft beer merged with a serendipitous conversation at a baseball game. His idea connected with Stephanie Mehmen and Graig Cone, the owner of Black Sheep Social Club, leading to the creation of a shared vision. The space, once a defunct clock factory, has been restored into one of Cedar Rapids’ most beautiful and historic venues. The team focuses on crafting diverse, palate-pleasing brews while maintaining a welcoming atmosphere where only good times and great memories are allowed.
