Big Grove Brewery Opens In Solon, IA

Big Grove Brewery opened in August in a new 5,200-square-foot building constructed on the site of the old Jonesy’s Restaurant in Solon. The building was designed by Swift’s uncle, architect George Pappageorge of Chicago, in a style Swift and Goettsch call rural contemporary.

“We put a big emphasis on design,” Swift said, noting features like 24-foot-high ceilings, exposed trusses, and lots of locally-sourced wood.

Big Grove Brewery offers eight of its own beers on tap and a menu featuring local and seasonal ingredients.
