Confluence announces anniversary week beer lineup!

Courtesy of Confluence Brewing:

To celebrate our 13th anniversary, we will be releasing 5 beers on Friday, October 17th!

Lucky 13, Irish Stout w/Dark Cacao & Mint, 6.1% ABV
– “Call it fate. Call it luck. Call it karma. I believe that everything happens for a reason.” – Dr. Peter Venkman
We’ve been unquestionably lucky for 13 years now. To grow and thrive as we have in the craft brewing industry is a testament to the passion, hard work and perseverance of our team. The creativity and ingenuity of our brewers, the persistence and determination of our sales and distribution department, and the warm and friendly nature of our taproom staff has helped propel us past plenty of trials and tribulations. But ability is of little account without opportunity, and over the last 13 years we have been so lucky that you, our fans, have given us the opportunity to put our skills to use and thrive doing what we love. Lucky 13 was brewed in celebration of that good fortune, an approachable stout, brewed to be sweet and chocolatey, but not too heavy bodied. The addition of refreshing and cool mint provides a delightful contrast to the richness and slight bitterness of the roasted cacao nibs creating an experience that is decadent and bright. We think it’s the perfect brew to sip on and reflect back on just how lucky we truly are. Here’s to you, our wonderful fans, and to many more years of fantastic beers!

Harvest IPA, Fresh Hop India Pale Ale, 6.0% ABV
– From a classic Czech Pilsner to the trendiest of milkshake IPAs, kiln dried and pelletized hops are the industry standard for almost every beer you enjoy throughout the year. We say almost, because once a year, when the fresh hops are ready for harvest we have the opportunity to brew a “Wet” Hopped IPA. We overnighted freshly picked Cascade from the Crosby hop yards in Oregon, and within 48 hours these unkilned hops go directly from bine to our kettles. We keep the malt bill simple to allow that distinctive smooth fresh hop character to shine through. 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 aroma to the beer without excess bitterness. Brewed fresh to be enjoyed fresh, pick up a four pack and help us bring in the harvest!

Bourbon Barrel Ferryman’s, Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout, 13.4% ABV
– Legend has it that on occasion the confluence of the Des Moines and the Raccoon rivers are met by an ethereal third, known to some as the river Styx. It’s trafficked by a cloaked and mysterious black figure who, since time immemorial, has conveyed souls from one bank to the other, pausing only occasionally to refresh his own weary spirit. We’ve managed to save away a small measure of that otherworldly tonic, and preserved it in carefully selected bourbon barrels until the time was right. A rich blend of roasted and chocolate malts meld seamlessly with the heat, caramel and dark macerated fruits from the whiskey casks resulting in precisely the treat needed to sustain our shadowy visitor and bring a smile to his face. We hope this legendary beer­ does the same for you, our legendary fans. Cheers!

Ferryman’s Mocha, Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout with Coffee, Cacao & Vanilla, 13.4% ABV
– Legend has it that on occasion the confluence of the Des Moines and the Raccoon rivers are met by an ethereal third, known to some as the river Styx. It’s trafficked by a cloaked and mysterious black figure who, since time immemorial, has conveyed souls from one bank to the other, pausing only occasionally to refresh his own weary spirit. With a rich decadent blend of chocolate malts layered over fudgy cacao nibs and enough freshly roasted coffee beans to wake the dead., this stout is precisely the treat needed to sustain this eternal mission and bring a smile to his face. We hope this legendary beer­ does the same for you, our legendary fans. Cheers!

Ferryman’s Pistachio Cream, Bourbon Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout with Pistachios & Vanilla, 13.4% ABV
– Legend has it that on occasion the confluence of the Des Moines and the Raccoon rivers are met by an ethereal third, known to some as the river Styx. It’s trafficked by a cloaked and mysterious black figure who, since time immemorial, has conveyed souls from one bank to the other, pausing only occasionally to refresh his own weary spirit. With a rich, decadent blend of roasted and chocolate malts layered over a pile of sweet, toasted pistachios and complemented by indulgent, creamy Tahitian vanilla bean, this stout is precisely the treat needed to sustain his eternal mission and bring a smile to his face. We hope this legendary beer does the same for you, our legendary fans. Cheers!
