“Off the Menu” is an Altoona restaurant feature sponsored by Elder Corporation.
This week, we joined Steve Moyna and CJ Sherzan of Elder Corp at Brightside Aleworks, a popular craft brewery at the heart of Altoona, Iowa. The brewery offers everything from milk stouts and kettle sours, to tropical hops and luscious haze.
