BIT Brewery

Central City, Iowa  ·  Est. 2020
Taproom Wood-Fired Pizza Dog Friendly Small Town Vibe

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.
