Cedar Rapids may have up to 14 underground beer caves, report estimates
Cedar Rapids may have up to 14 underground beer caves, report estimates
An Office of the State Archaeologist report estimates as many as 14 beer caves — not three as previously detected — are located underground near access ramps to Interstate 380 in Cedar Rapids.
The report estimates five to eight beer caves — subterranean rooms used for cooling and aging beer before refrigeration — were connected to the Magnus Eagle Brewery, which was built in 1857 and demolished in 1937.
The report also identifies a second brewery called Williams Cedar Rapids Brewery, built in 1860. It had six caves located immediately southwest of Magnus, according to the report.
“They actually found more openings then they thought they would, up to 11 and possibly 14,” said Cathy Cutler, a district 6 transportation planner for the Iowa DOT. “Further investigation will help inform that number.”
