The Best Iowa Beers on Tap at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse

National American Beer Day is October 27, 2016, and the best bar in Des Moines definitely has some amazing American brews for you. This is especially true of the delicious beers we have on tap that are made right here in Iowa! Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is proud to serve these local favorites that we believe the entire country should have the privilege to enjoy.

Confluence Brewing Company
Made right here in our very own Des Moines, this brewery has been in business since 2012, but the dream began back in 1991 when John Martin, the company's head brewer, began playing around with beer made from grain crops found in Iowa. He researched and practiced for a few years, then began Confluence Brewing Company with co-founder Ken Broadhead. 

Our Des Moines BBQ restaurant currently has three of their amazing beers on tap. Farmer John's is a refreshing blonde, multi-grain ale. The Des Moines IPA is their American take on an India Pale Ale. We've got their seasonal Oktoberfest on tap right now too. This rich, amber colored lager has a full-bodied, toasty flavor.     


Exile Brewing Company
Also located right here in Des Moines, these guys describe themselves as "a hand-crafted brewery fueled by the passion of a burn-bright lifestyle and driven by a unique sense of gratitude for the customer, community, and the future of our land." Each one of their brews is a dedication to both a European tradition and the quality of good old American hard work. 

When you belly up to the bar at the Boot, you'll be able to order two of Exile's creations. Hannah is a unique Bavarian wheat with a distinct and refreshing flavor. It's actually named for Exile's lifelong friend, which they describe as outspoken and independent, just like this beer. The other one that we offer is Ruthie, a smooth gold lager with a robust body. It's named for the finest woman to ever have served a beer in 1950's Des Moines. 


Boone Valley Brewing Company
Boone, Iowa is the home of our next featured brew house. What began as merely a fun notion to make beer from a kit soon turned into a passion for brewing. After entering several contests and winning multiple awards, it became obvious that Rick knew what he was doing. Often referred to as the "Willie Wonka of Beers" and the "Phantom Brewer," his skills produced the Boone Valley Brewing Company. 

You will find two of their beers when you visit our Des Moines restaurant. First of all, their medium-bodied Roxie Irish Red is filled with complex malt flavors and aromas. The Halligan Porter is an American porter which is low in bitterness with slight roasted and chocolate flavors and aromas.
     

Peace Tree Brewing Company
Next up is a brewery out of Knoxville, Iowa that began business in a former Nash Rambler car dealership in 2010. The name comes from the historic grand sycamore that grew near the town of Red Rock, which was a meeting place for many generations of Native Americans, and later it was a meeting place for fur traders too. 

This company used the tree as their symbol because they hope that their beers will be "shared with friends and strangers alike and act as a catalyst for conversations, new friendships, and important agreements - in line with the lore of the Peace Tree of Red Rock." We love Peace Tree here at Wobbly Boots. Their Blonde Fatale is a Belgium-style blonde ale that is surprisingly smooth. 

Enjoy Them For Happy Hour
Every Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm you can get each of these delicious Iowa drafts for only $3 each at the best Happy Hour in Des Moines! That price is good for all of our 18 beers on tap. You can also get $3 Captain Morgan cocktails and $5 specialty drinks. If you've been looking for a few new great American beers to try, head on over to Wobbly Boots Roadhouse and give these Iowa natives a try. We bet you're going to have a few new favorites!
