QC Ale Trail Ale Launch

The Quad Cities will raise a glass to the region’s thriving craft beer scene during QC Craft Beer Week, returning May 23–30, 2025.

The festivities kick off on Friday, May 23, from 4–7 p.m. at Bent River Brewing Co. in downtown Moline, where a special tapping of the QC Ale Trail Ale will be held. Brewed in partnership with Bent River Brewing Co., this 5% ABV American Wheat Ale is a refreshing, citrus-forward summer beer inspired by Midwest favorites like Bell’s Oberon. Guests who purchase a pint of Ale Trail Ale during QC Craft Beer Week will receive a free commemorative pint glass while supplies last.
