Taproom & Brewery

We are located at 1235 Thomas Beck Road Des Moines, Iowa 50315. We are also accessible from the Great Western Bike Trail, just south of Grey’s Lake. Check out Google Maps for directions.
ARE PETS ALLOWED IN THE TAPROOM?
WHERE CAN I PARK?
We have limited parking available in our main lot. Overflow is available to the east of our building, in the marked locations. Please respect the parking stalls designated for other businesses and times allowed to park, etc. We kindly ask that you do not block any of the dock doors.
DO YOU SERVE WINE OR LIQUOR OR ALLOW IT TO BE BROUGHT IN?
We have small selection of wine from Jasper available at the bar. Our licensing does not allow for us to have liquor on premise. We do not allow wine to be brought into the taproom.
DO YOU HAVE TABLE SERVICE?
No. We kindly ask that you place your order at the bar. Our bartenders are always happy to help you make your ordering decision. Want to try before you buy? No problem, just ask for a sample!
DO YOU GIVE TOURS?
Yes! We offer tours every Friday and Saturday at 6 PM. For $10 you get a 16oz. custom chalice glass, exclusive for tours, filled with a beer to enjoy on the tour. Sign up for tours HERE. Tours run approximately 45 minutes.
WHAT BEERS DO YOU HAVE ON TAP RIGHT NOW?
Our current tap lineup can be found HERE. We sell most of our beer in pints, flights and pitchers, depending on the style. Stop in and check out our selection!
DO YOU HAVE ANY GLUTEN-FREE OPTIONS?
Of course! We have a small selection of wine available from Jasper Winery, and always try to have a cider on tap.
DO YOU HAVE ANY NON-ALCOHOLIC OPTIONS?
Yes! We always have Millstream Root Beer on tap, made in the Amana Colonies, as well as an assortment of soda, Gatorade and bottled water. We also have bottles of non-alcoholic beer available.
ARE KIDS ALLOWED IN THE TAPROOM?
Yes, until 9 PM by city ordinance.
Food
DO YOU SERVE FOOD?
No, but we have food trucks that regularly set up through the spring and summer. Check out our website and social media accounts for the lineup. You are also always welcome to bring your own food in if you like!
Group Reservation Inquiries
DO YOU TAKE RESERVATIONS FOR LARGE GROUPS AND PARTIES?
Yes we do! Our taproom is first come first served, but we enjoy when you call ahead if you know you are having a large gathering. We will do our best to reserve a table for you and accommodate your group. We are now booking private groups and events in our packaging area. Please direct booking inquiries to mark.david@confluencebrewing.com
Growlers
DO YOU SELL GROWLERS?
Yes! We have glass and insulated stainless steel growers for sale in the taproom in two sizes; 32 oz. and 64 oz. Growlers are to-go only.
DO YOU HAVE CANNED OR BOTTLED BEER?
Yes! Nearly all of our beers get packaged in 4-packs and are available for purchase (to-go) in our taproom and liquor stores across the state. Some of our barrel aged and limited beers get packaged in 22 ounce bomber bottles and are also offered for sale in our taproom. Our limited beers tend to sell out quickly, so keep your eye on our social media sites for release dates and info!
DO YOU FILL GROWLERS FROM OTHER BREWERIES?
Of course. We are in the beer business, not the glass business! We do, however, require the government warning to be on the vessel.
