Expansion Momentum Big Grove has expanded from its Solon origin to Iowa City and beyond, including a large Liberty Plant production hub and upcoming sites in new markets. This multi-market growth creates wholesale distribution opportunities, cross-regional co-branding, and licensing collaborations with universities and sports programs.

Licensing Partnerships The TIGERHAWK licensing deal with the University of Iowa Athletics demonstrates a scalable model for university and sports collaborations, opening doors for co-branded beers, event sponsorships, and revenue-sharing programs with colleges and venues.

Scale & Automation A large production facility paired with an automation upgrade signals capacity and efficiency to support higher-volume wholesale, broader distribution, and consistent quality as the footprint grows.

Market Leadership As Iowa’s leading craft brewer by volume and with substantial revenue, Big Grove has a strong platform for wholesale partnerships, merchandise sales, and experiential marketing through its flagship taproom and entertainment venues.

People & Community Rapid headcount growth and a commitment to local sourcing and community initiatives create ongoing opportunities for hospitality staffing collaborations, local supplier networks, and event-driven sponsorships with regional partners.
