As Council Bluffs’ first brewery, Full Fledged has quickly become more than just a place to grab a drink—it’s a hub for connection, community, and craft. With up to 18 beers brewed on-site, there’s something on tap for every palate, from crisp and refreshing to bold and adventurous.
A Passion Brewed from the Start
The story behind Full Fledged is just as compelling as the beer itself. Founders Marshall and Dessie first crossed paths in 2010, beginning a journey filled with adventure, creativity, and a shared vision. That vision came to life in 2019 when they opened the doors to their brewery in the heart of Council Bluffs—bringing their passion for quality craft beer to the community.
Award-Winning Craft
Their dedication hasn’t gone unnoticed. Full Fledged recently earned two Bronze Medals at the prestigious Best of Craft Beer Awards, an international competition held in Central Oregon. Competing against breweries from across the country and around the world, this recognition highlights the precision, creativity, and care poured into every batch.
These awards don’t just celebrate great beer—they shine a spotlight on Council Bluffs as a growing destination in the craft beer scene.
