    Restaurant info

    A taproom in Winterset, Iowa with craft beer, cocktails, wine and food. Situated in the heart of Madison County, The Drift is named for the once-glacial region that gave us our rolling hills: the Southern Iowa Drift Plain. This is a reminder to slow down and connect with the simple beauty of the land that surrounds us—and the simple beauty of this moment. Cheers!
