made on the spot ,along with
hungry and thirsty customers
ready for something new.
<so far, so good. 
First half of the day has been
all right. So excited> Pet
Faber is the man
behind Barn town. His new 
brewery is on the boarder of
West Des Monies and Waukee. He
figured the area used be
farmland...so barn town has a 
rural theme. Beer can art on o
wall. And a full size,1955 ford 
pickup above the bar. 
< So that's 
basically my first old truck
so...>
< So as this
project progressed I figured, 
lets do something different, cut
it in half and throw it on top
of the bar..so...> But faber
hopes the beer, not just the
décor, attracts customers.
< We've got a 
golden ale going right now, ..> 
Grant Brower is the Barn town 
Brewer. He works behind the 
scenes and He's got a pretty
simple rule when it comes to
making beer.
< And you know, 
make some beers that, you know, 
kind of the stuff that I wanted 
to drink and want other people
to drink> speaking of drinking, 
Vinepair.com, a drinking
website, just listed des moines 
as one of six must visit U-S
cities to drink beer. Faber says
it's a patriotic honor. 
< We're proud 
americans and now we're brewing 
a lot of our own beers.>
< so for me it was
to bring an american made 
product and also uber local 
because of the fact we make it
all right on site>
