You’re not going to want to miss out on this mul You’re not going to want to miss out on this multi brewery mixed 4-pack collab! @biggrovebrewery teamed up with us as well as @peacetreedmbranch to bring you these 2 heavy hitters. We had a blast with this one, and are super happy with how the beer turned out. Get a taste of We Ride Together, We Rye Together- It’s on tap in the Confluence taproom for a limited time! (No 4-packs though) Make sure to seek out the mixed 4-packs at your favorite liquor store as well!

Come down and grab a ChewBOCKa at our annual ChewB Come down and grab a ChewBOCKa at our annual ChewBOCKa Fest party! In the 18th century, during their long Lenten fast when they could drink but not eat, monks brewed rich, bready bock beers for sustenance. Always fans of trying our hand at brewing tradition, it was inevitable that we'd eventually try to brew our own meal in a can. Our bock came out big, burly, and chewy, hence the name, ChewBOCKa. This beast of a beer is made with a Munich malt base and German hops for a rich and full-bodied yet balanced and malty sweetness. A long, cool lagering period mellows this deep mahogany beer and brings flavors of toasted brown bread, sweet caramel, and even hints of chocolate. Whether you’re fasting or not, our ChewBOCKa is sure to satisfy. After all, we wouldn't want you thinking with your stomach...
I imagine when owner, John Martin, was constructin I imagine when owner, John Martin, was constructing the east wall of the taproom (yes, he built just about everything around here), he could have only dreamed that it would one day be used to feature an incredibly ambitious "Beer a Week" release campaign. Now, in our 10th year of business, this wall highlights our weekly releases with label artwork from all the beers we brew for the year. A huge thank you to @818iowa for working endlessly to help us create unique labels for our incredible body of work, as well as connecting us with local artists who have produced original art pieces to highlight on our bigger brands. 10 years and counting. 247 beers and counting. Thank you all for supporting us and allowing us to be Des Moines' brewery! . . . . . #followmetobeer #iabeer #brewediniowa #tenyears
Our company was built on the ingenuity of a homebr Our company was built on the ingenuity of a homebrewer with a passion for experimentation and a deep appreciation for tradition. Near the end of 2018, we released our 1,000th batch of beer and our first hazy double IPA. Since we had such a great time with that beer, we decided we didn't need a fancy number like 1,000 to justify playing around with hops, malt, and yeast like we were homebrewing again. Two ale yeast strains duke it out in the fermenter to produce this triple dry-hopped, hazy, blond, double IPA packed with HBC586, Idaho Gem, and Nelson Sauvin hops. Look for bright aromas and flavors of mango, guava, pineapple and citrus, wrapped up in a sticky malty body with a soft mouthfeel. What began as a single vision has grown into a collaborative effort from the entire team. We had fun with this one, we hope you will too!
Our "Beer a Week" release campaign rolls on this F Our "Beer a Week" release campaign rolls on this Friday with the introduction of another "Batch" beer! Batch 1563 Hazy DIPA is fermented with two different yeast strains, packed with HBC 586, Idaho Gem, and Nelson Sauvin hops, and is also triple dry-hopped. Look for bright aromas and flavors of mango, guava, pineapple, and citrus, wrapped up in a sticky malty body with a soft mouthfeel. *Special notice- ChewBOCK will be released this week on SATURDAY at our annual ChewBOCKa Fest party.

Back in October of 2012, the first Confluence beer Back in October of 2012, the first Confluence beer to ever leave the building was delivered to el Bait Shop by Bruno via pedal power (Des Moines IPA of course)! Since then, we have worked tirelessly to build up our distribution department and now proudly self-distribute our beer to roughly 600 accounts throughout Iowa. As we enter our 10th year of business, we'd like to extend an enthusiastic thank you to all the accounts that have chosen to carry our extensive lineup of beers.
