Fresh Hop Amarillo Release
Wednesday, September 28 @ 12:00 pm - Wednesday, September 28 @ 11:00 pm
Confluence Brewing Company1235 Thomas Beck RdDes Moines, IA50315 Map
It's that magical time of year when the hops grown in the pacific northwest are ready for harvest! We had these freshly picked Amarillo hops overnighted to us, and dumped them directly into the kettle within 48 hours of being on the bine.
The simple malt bill allows the distinctively smooth fresh hop character to shine through and impart its citrus and floral aromas and flavors without over the top bitterness.
Get it in the taproom this Friday, and watch for it on shelves at your favorite local liquor store. Grab it while you can- it won't last long!

Basic Batch Pumpkin Ale Release
Friday, September 30 @ 12:00 pm - Friday, September 30 @ 9:00 pm
Confluence Brewing Company
Back by popular demand, our Basic Batch Pumpkin Ale will be available beginning this Friday at noon!
Iowa weather seems to exist in two extremes: the bitter cold of winter and the sweltering heat of summer. We propose that during the few delicate weeks of Fall, when the temperature drops and the leaves warm the skies, we allow ourselves to slow down and bask in the season. Let’s read a book with the windows open, snacking on freshly baked scones under heavy knit blankets. We should dress our dogs in adorable vests, wrap ourselves in our softest scarves, and go for a stroll in the park. We must take pictures of every outfit, every orchard, every craft, every meal, every pie, every latte, and every leaf. Let’s embrace all things pumpkin, starting right here with our noble tribute to the season, Basic Batch. Sweet pumpkin reigns over every sip, enriched with warm nutmeg, spicy cinnamon and the gentlest hint of clove. It’s time to drop our arbitrary dismissal of mainstream comforts and give ourselves permission to celebrate the cozy, luxurious, delicious, familiar, and most Basic things in life. Snag a 4-pack, kick back on your throne, and embrace your inner Pumpkin Queen. Cheers!
