Des Moines & Central Iowa, Iowa

Beer, Wine, Liquor Vendors

In Des Moines & Central Iowa: Eleven beer, wine and liquor businesses are listed, with three each in Des Moines and West Des Moines, two in Ames and one in Marshalltown. Central Iowa has a genuine local scene to draw on — the Jasper and Marion County wineries, metro breweries and distilleries, and Pella's own producers — and serving something made within 40 miles reads better on a bar menu than a generic list. Start with the question that actually governs everything: who holds the license to serve alcohol at your venue? Some venues require their own bar service, some permit a caterer to run it, and some allow you to supply product. Ask the venue in writing, early, because the answer determines whether you are shopping for product at all. If you can supply, ask whether unopened stock can be returned, since over-ordering is the most common way couples lose money in this category. Confirm delivery to a rural address if your venue is out in the counties, and remember no mobile bar services are listed here, so service staffing comes from your caterer.
