ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

Iowa Suite Distilling Making Spirits Work

Dehner Distillery operates out of a suite in Clive, Iowa, bringing craft spirits to the Des Moines metro area. Located on University Avenue in a business complex, this small-scale operation focuses on producing handcrafted spirits in Iowa’s growing craft distillery scene. The distillery represents part of Iowa’s emerging spirits industry, which has been gaining momentum over the past decade as local entrepreneurs explore grain-to-glass production using the state’s abundant corn and other agricultural resources. The operation appears to maintain a lower profile compared to some of Iowa’s larger distilleries, focusing on small-batch production methods. Iowa’s craft distillery movement has been shaped by the state’s agricultural heritage, with many operations taking advantage of locally-sourced grains and traditional distilling techniques. The Clive location puts them in the heart of central Iowa’s business corridor, making them accessible to visitors from Des Moines and surrounding communities. For visitors interested in Iowa’s craft spirits scene, Dehner represents the type of small, dedicated operation that’s helping put the state on the distilling map. The suite-based location suggests an intimate, focused approach to production rather than a large-scale tourist destination, which can appeal to spirits enthusiasts looking for a more personal distillery experience.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

Business Complex Bourbon Real Craft Spirit

Operating from a business suite rather than a traditional distillery building gives Dehner a different character than many craft distilleries. This setup reflects the entrepreneurial spirit of Iowa’s newer distillery operations, where passionate distillers are starting small and focusing on perfecting their craft. Iowa’s position in the corn belt provides access to high-quality local grains, and the state’s growing reputation for craft spirits has been built by operations willing to start modest and grow organically.
