Toppling Goliath Brewing Company began as a small homebrewing dream in the quiet town of Decorah, Iowa, and has grown into one of the most acclaimed names in craft beer worldwide. Founded in 2009 by Clark and Barb Lewey, the brewery was born from Clark’s passion for creating bold, flavorful beers that stood apart from the mass-produced options available at the time. What started in a small garage quickly gained a cult following, inspiring the Leweys to take on the “giants” of the beer world, hence the name, Toppling Goliath.

Today, Toppling Goliath is celebrated for pushing the boundaries of American brewing while staying true to its small-town roots. Its beers combine precision, creativity, and unrelenting quality, from its hop-forward IPAs like Pseudo Sue and King Sue to its world-famous barrel-aged stout, Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout, which has held the title of the number-one beer in the world since 2015. Each beer reflects the brewery’s dedication to craftsmanship and its belief that great beer should inspire connection and community.

Recognized as the 2021 U.S. Beer Open Grand National Champion and ranked the #2 brewery in the world by Beer Advocate, Toppling Goliath’s influence reaches far beyond Iowa. The brewery now distributes across the United States and internationally, but it remains proudly rooted in Decorah, where its expansive facility and taproom draw visitors from across the globe. There, fans can experience the full range of its award-winning creations, from innovative experimental brews to classic, fan-favorite releases.

More than just a brewery, Toppling Goliath has built a culture centered on community and camaraderie. Its team is passionate, its atmosphere welcoming, and its impact far-reaching. By blending heartland values with world-class brewing talent, Toppling Goliath continues to remind the world that even a small-town brewery can stand tall among giants, proving that true greatness often begins with passion, perseverance, and one extraordinary pint at a time.
