Sandra’s Pick: Farmer Multi-Grain

Jake’s Pick: Des Moines IPA

Our second stop after the Good Guys car show was Confluence Brewing Co for continuation of good company and good conversation. I really enjoyed how colorful this brewery was and more than once, Jake stopped to admire some artwork on the walls. But back to the beer…

The beer was solid. Still on the adventurous side, I tried their flagship Farmer Ale. They call it a multi-grain ale. Not sure if the intention is healthy consumption or an exploration of various brewing grains but the results was delicious. I do draw my adventurous line at avocado toast beer.
