Confluence Brewing Company Confluence Brewing Company is a brewery in Des Moines, Iowa. The brewery is itself a confluence of John and Ken’s love for Iowa and craft beer.
(2192)

After years of hobby brewing and an increasingly ardent interest in brewing as a profession — including countless brewery tours and immersion in local and online brewing interest groups — John Martin and fellow home brewer and co-founder Ken Broadhead launched Confluence Brewing in 2012. John left his construction management day-job to pursue Confluence and his passion for beer making full time. The result is a microbrewery that shares Iowa’s attributes of honesty, humility, hard work and a sense of humor. Confluence also has Iowa’s knack for being a delightful surprise to those who actually experience it. Confluence cares about the creativity and craftsmanship that goes into making excellent beer, and knows that excellent beer can bring good friends together.

Get ready for a fresh & hoppy release!

Made with Cascade hops picked from the bine and immediately overnighted to us, this b**r is a rare treat in the Midwest.

Expect a distinctive, smooth, fresh hop character. In fact, most of the fresh hops are saved for the whirlpool, where the Cascade is encouraged to impart its orange, grapefruit, and floral flavors and aromas to the b**r without excess bitterness.

Don't miss out on this unique and delicious brew! Harvest IPA release today in the taproom!
