Brand milestones Peace Tree is a pioneer in Iowa craft beer as a 100 percent woman-owned, early-course brewery with multiple award-winning beers, a strong regional presence, and existing taprooms in Knoxville and Des Moines, signaling opportunities for wholesale partnerships and regional distribution expansion.

Expanded footprint The Des Moines taproom opened in 2017 and the brand has distribution across Iowa and Nebraska; recent cessation of brewing operations in 2024 suggests opportunities for revival through co-pack or licensed production, as well as renewed partner-driven growth.

Strategic partnerships History of collaboration with Foundry Distilling on Blonde Fatale Whiskey and prior distribution relationships positions Peace Tree to pursue cross-promotional drink products, multi-brand bundles, and co-branded experiences in bars, retail, and events.

Awards and visibility Gold medals at the Great American Beer Festival reinforce product credibility; leveraging award status in sales pitches and retailer negotiations could accelerate shelf space, events, and draft placement programs.

Operational readiness A revenue range of one to ten million and a lean employee count indicate flexibility for scalable partnerships, private label opportunities, seasonal brewing collaborations, and turnkey third-party production arrangements to meet demand without heavy capital investment.
