515 Brewing Company in Clive, Iowa is a fantastic stop for craft beer lovers in the Des Moines metro area. We recently stopped in for just one drink, but it was memorable enough to make me want to come back soon. I ordered their OJ IPA, a juicy, citrus-forward India Pale Ale that delivers bright orange and tropical fruit flavors with a smooth, clean finish. It’s the kind of beer that’s refreshing but still packed with enough hop character to keep IPA fans happy.

The brewery has a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere with plenty of seating options and a relaxed local vibe. The décor is simple yet inviting, and you can tell it’s a place where both regulars and first-time visitors feel at home. There’s a small but comfortable bar area and plenty of tables, making it great for groups or solo visits.

Service was friendly and quick, with the staff happy to offer insight into their beer selection. While we didn’t try any other drinks or food on this visit, the rotating tap list looked creative and well-curated, with something for every taste.

If you’re in the Clive or West Des Moines area and want to enjoy a fresh, locally brewed craft beer, 515 Brewing is worth the stop. Highly recommend the OJ IPA if you’re into citrusy, flavorful IPAs. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their lineup.
