Legend has it that on occasion the confluence of the Des Moines and the Raccoon rivers are met by an ethereal third river–known to some as the river Styx. Trafficked by a cloaked and mysterious black figure who, since time immemorial, has conveyed souls from one bank to the other, pausing only occasionally to refresh his own weary spirit. We’ve managed to save away a small measure of that otherworldly tonic, and preserved it in carefully selected bourbon barrels until the time was right. A rich blend of roasted and chocolate malts meld seamlessly with the heat, caramel and dark macerated fruits from the whiskey casks resulting in precisely the treat needed to sustain our shadowy visitor and bring a smile to his face. We hope this legendary beer does the same for you, our legendary fans. To nine great years and many more–Cheers!

For nine amazing years you’ve supported us on our quest to bring good things together–from Long Ride and Bridge Builder, the Extinction Event and Batch series, and–of course–Des Moines IPA, we always strive to bring you the freshest pale ales and IPAs imaginable. For our anniversary, we double mashed this recipe resulting in the biggest Hazy IPA we’ve ever brewed–hopped with explosive flavors and aromas of orange, pineapple, passionfruit, grapefruit, and vanilla. Completely unrestrained, it’s the perfect beer to celebrate all the hoppy love that came before it. Cheers to nine years! Thank you for being there to support us through it all. We hope you love this beer as much as we loved making it for you!
Release at 11 AM on Saturday. This beer as well as the 3 bottle releases will go live on our online ordering site Saturday morning at 7 AM. Pick up in the taproom or call in for curbside service. togoorder.com/web/2339#/

Royal Roots Porter Release
Friday, October 29 @ 12:00 pm - Friday, October 29 @ 11:00 pm
Confluence Brewing Company1235 Thomas Beck RdDes Moines, IA50315 Map
**UPDATE** This release has been rescheduled from 10/1 to 10/29
Long before airline check-in counters, the folks who carried travelers’ bags and cargo to and from trains and boats were called “porters.” In early 18th century England, these porters favored a newly developed style of beer that was dark in appearance and well hopped for the time. The porters enjoyed it so much that the style was named after them, and its production quickly spread from the British Isles to as far away as Russia and North America. Royal Roots is our homage to those early English beginnings, boasting a complex malt bill that produces characters of sweet caramel, roasted coffee, and dark chocolate. English yeast and English hops add notes of orchard fruits, floral aromatics, and a slightly earthy balance that makes our porter the perfect beer to unwind with after a long hard day of work. Swing by after your next shift and join us for a pint. Cheers!
