Smokey the Bier Smoked Helles Lager Release
Friday, December 3 @ 12:00 pm - Friday, December 3 @ 11:00 pm
Confluence Brewing Company1235 Thomas Beck RdDes Moines, IA50315 Map
We're closing in on the end of this year's "Beer a Week" releases! Smokey the Bier is a brand new one headed your way on Friday and is our 98th beer of 2021. We hope you enjoy it, and we're excited to continue our "Beer a Week" release campaign to bring you at least one new beer every week of 2022.
Malting basics? Grain is steeped to encourage germination, and that germination develops the enzymatic action that makes it possible to brew beer. The kernels are then kilned, driving out moisture and imparting the flavors we think of when we drink malt driven beers: caramel, chocolate, toast, biscuit, among others. These days large commercial roasters and dryers are used to kiln the malt, but malt used to be dried over open fires, giving it tons of smoky character. It’s likely that for much of human history, ALL beers were smoked beers. Our Smokey the Bier pays homage to that history, while still considering our modern palate. With only a third of the total malt bill made up of beechwood smoked malt, this beer strikes a beautiful balance between the bright, crisp, and refreshing Helles style with just enough sweet and savory notes of smoke to provide interest and complexity. We all know where there’s smoke there's fire, so give Smokey the Bier a try—we’re sure you’ll agree that this Helles is [fire]!
Get it in the taproom this Friday, and make sure to check out our social media channels for our "Beer a Week" release announcements!
