Nerdspeak Brewery

Nerdspeak Brewery just opened up its taproom! This brewery opened in late 2021 in Bettendorf and is a very, well, nerdy hangout. It has a retro theme outfitted with graphics from tons of different shows, musicians, and movies (especially Star Wars) with beer names inspired by their favorite characters and quotes. They host game and trivia nights as well as Bingo! You can find their Facebook here.

The Granary Coffee House and Brewery

Combine two of the greatest beverages to exist and you’ve got this great new spot! This will be Eldridge’s first brewery and has an unlikely beginning. Jessica and Salvador Castenada first started brewing beer when she bought a full kit at a garage sale. Jessica says it sat in the garage for about six months until her husband finally decided to try it and, to his surprise, he had a knack for brewing! If everything goes according to plan the Castenada’s hope to open later this spring.

Olde Town Bakery

Known for its delicious sugar cookies since 1951, this locally owned hole in the wall is set to expand and open its first express location in East Moline. Currently owned by Andy and Chris VanHoe since 2007, this location does all sorts of desserts from custom cakes and cookies to delicious fruit pies. Their new building is still undergoing construction but the brand new signature pink sign can be seen in the storefront. You can learn more here.

Hopefully, 2022 has been a great year for you so far, but if it hasn't, maybe one of these new spots can help make it great!
