This beast of a beer is rich and bready, big, burl This beast of a beer is rich and bready, big, burly, and chewy. Sought after each year by longtime Confluence fans, we even have a festival named for it! For those of you wondering about our annual ChewBOCKa Fest tradition, we’ve got something special and unique in store for you. COVID may prevent us from hosting a huge bash, but we promise you’re going to like what’s coming. Stay tuned for details!

Complex and robust with bright fruit aromas and fl Complex and robust with bright fruit aromas and flavors of blackberry and peach. The barrels lend their oaky tannins, and the multiple strains of brettanomyces bring the funk. We proudly release our Cuvée, arguably one of the most complex beers we’ve ever produced. Bottles are still available in limited quantities.

Bottle release on Friday, 1/22! The term cuvée i Bottle release on Friday, 1/22!

The term cuvée is used in both the wine and beer worlds, most often to delineate specially blended batches from the absolute best barrels or tanks the vintner or brewer has to offer. That is certainly the case with our Cuvée; each barrel for this blend was selected from a variety of base beers, barrel types, and fermentation cultures to produce a wild ale that is greater than the sum of its parts. After determining the best blend of barrels, we reserved a portion to condition over hundreds of pounds of whole blackberries and peaches for two months. The final product is complex and robust, the character of the fruit melding beautifully with the funky contributions of several different strains of Brett, bright acidity, oak tannins, and sweet malts. Bottle conditioned to continue to develop and mature over time, this unique blend is one of the most complex beers we’ve ever produced and we’re proud to label it as our cuvée.

Release on Friday, 1/15! Meet Old Chungus–of Cl Release on Friday, 1/15!

Meet Old Chungus–of Clan Chungus, of course–equal parts kind, wise, irascible, round, and downright adorable. Perhaps you’ve caught sight of her puttering around your neighbor’s Highlands, or found her basking along the lochs and firths of your own backyard. We’re proud to pay tribute to this chonky old-timer with a beer as well aged as its namesake. Sweet and rich malt character marries perfectly with notes of baking chocolate, oak and vanilla from the barrels, and a pleasant bourbon heat running throughout. A perfect tribute to the rotund matriarch, this beer is a great example of why you should always respect your elders. Slàinte Mhath!

Check this out! We collaborated with @foundrydisti Check this out! We collaborated with @foundrydistillingco through their Brewer-Distiller Alliance program to bring you a one of a kind whiskey based off of our Des Moines IPA recipe! We produce the wort as if we were going to make our exceptionally popular flagship beer, Des Moines IPA,  but instead of fermenting it into beer, we send it to the Foundry where their masterful distillers turn it into whiskey! Watch for the release of this unique and must have product later this year (currently projecting October).
