BIT Brewery
BIT Brewery (Best In Three) was founded in 2020 by three longtime friends—Jason, Jeff, and Scott—who had been homebrewing together for years. Located in the heart of small-town Central City, Iowa, they turned their passion into a full-fledged craft brewery and wood-fired pizza spot. The name reflects their trio dynamic, and their focus is on creating approachable, high-quality beers while supporting the local community.
Housed in a modest building on 4th Street, BIT offers that classic welcoming Midwest small-town brewery atmosphere. With a taproom feel that’s relaxed and unpretentious, it’s the kind of place where locals and visitors alike gather for fresh beer and handmade pizzas baked in a wood-fired brick oven.
“Three guys who brewed together wanted to open a brewery in the town they love.”
BIT stands out in Iowa’s craft scene for its diverse beer lineup—from rich stouts to refreshing sours and ciders—alongside a commitment to guest taps from fellow Iowa breweries. Their wood-fired pizzas change regularly, pairing perfectly with the ever-rotating taps. While relatively young, they’ve quickly become a beloved destination for those seeking authentic small-town craft experiences.
Visiting BIT Brewery is about embracing small-town Iowa charm with excellent craft beer and pizza. Whether you’re grabbing a flight to sample their creative offerings, enjoying a wood-fired pie, or simply soaking in the friendly vibe, it’s a destination that rewards the detour. In a region full of great breweries, BIT delivers heartfelt hospitality and beers worth the drive.
