About:
Green Tree Brewery is the latest addition to a revitalized and emerging historic river town along the banks of the Mississippi River. LeClaire, IA, is home to restaurants, shops, a winery, distillery, the “American Pickers”, and now craft brews. The brewery is named after a 225-year-old giant elm that was a landmark in the town with a 100-foot canopy and height of more than 50 feet. Many river pilots, townsfolk, and even native Buffalo Bill Cody were known to have frequently visited the tree that provided shade and refuge along the river front.
