Way back in 1991, Confluence Brewing Company's head brewer, John Martin, had the idea to attempt to make a raisin-almond beer. This, as you might suspect, was not a success. (Raisin-almond? ICK!) This did lend to a fascination with how many things could be made using Iowa's own grain crops.
Later, in 1995, John and his wife picked up home brewing supplies while on their honeymoon. After years of research and practice, John along with co-founder Ken Broadhead, started Confluence Brewing Company just 3 short years ago in 2012. The brewery is made up of these fella's love for both Iowa and craft beer. (For the full story, check out their website.)
All of the trial and error that went into the original attempts resulted in three delicious flagship beers, two of which are served right here from our Wobbly Boots Roadhouse taps.

Des Moines IPA
This is their American take on an India Pale Ale. You will taste citrusy and piney hops from the Pacific Northwest along with the malt flavor of two-row barley and medium crystal malts.
Throughout the year, they also put out some incredible seasonal and limited beers.
