The Torrent Brewing Company was founded by Ames homebrewer Andy McCormick. Today, Torrent occupies a large former warehouse building and serves a variety of brews from their taproom. Guests can sample a 5 oz. brew for only $2.00, and flights of four-beer samples are only $8.00.

The brewery also sells inexpensive snacks, such as popcorn and candy, and offers games such as foosball and pool. Guests can bring in their own food if they want a larger meal. Special events such as concerts are sometimes held here. Torrent is open Wednesday through Sunday, with hours varying by day.
