Awesome Sauce, Hazy Hoppy Radler Release

Wednesday, July 28 @ 4:00 pm - Wednesday, July 28 @ 10:00 pm

Confluence Brewing Company1235 Thomas Beck RdDes Moines, IA50315 Map

We've got the perfect cycling beer with a special Wednesday release date! Get it in our taproom and seek it out as you make stops throughout the week on RAGBRAI.

For nearly half a century, teams of cyclists from across the country have been coming together annually for a bike ride across Iowa. What began as a humble tour of our great state has blossomed into a 7-day celebration, forging new friendships and strengthening old ones. Brewed in support of one particularly awesome team, this beer celebrates their eclectic friendship by smashing together two ultra-refreshing beer styles to produce one supremely crushable brew! A hazy IPA base brings a soft sweet malt bill packed full of Lotus hops for notes of bright orange citrus and a little soft vanilla. We doubled down on those hoppy notes by blending in a house-made orange soda to turn this IPA into the perfect cycling beer, a Radler! Whether you're riding with Team Awesomeness across our great state or just tackling your own adventures at home, this Awesome Sauce is sure to fuel your pursuits!

Midwest Legend Release

Friday, July 30 @ 12:00 pm - Friday, July 30 @ 11:00 pm

Confluence Brewing Company1235 Thomas Beck RdDes Moines, IA50315 Map

A Cream Ale is a bit of an ambassador for the craft brewing industry. Designed to be light, refreshing, and approachable (but certainly not creamy, despite the name), a solid ale crafted with passion and high-quality ingredients has turned many drinkers of fizzy, yellow, mass-market beer into true lovers of the craft. It's fitting, then, that we would brew our first cream ale in partnership with The Carson King Foundation, a nonprofit that started when their founder tried to buy some of that fizzy yellow beer. Carson King also works as an ambassador, bringing people together to support causes in need. Confluence is proud to donate a quarter of the net proceeds from the sales of this beer to Orchard Place, a staple of the Des Moines community for over 130 years; working to serve the mental health, substance use, educational and juvenile justice needs of children, adolescents, and young adults in our community.
