Lost Duck Brewing Company
725 Avenue H
Fort Madison, IA
319-372-8255
Fort Madison is one of the few places where the river actually runs east to west instead of the normal north to south. Many waterfowl follow the river on their migratory flights and they seemingly spend quite a lot of time circling in this area, as if confused over this natural phenomenon. Thus the name “The Lost Duck Brewing Company” was born. Take a tour of our website to find the current brews available, our pub-style foods and the events happening at the Duck.
