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.Put Confluence Brewing Company at the forefront of your travel plans using our Des Moines online driving holiday planner.
The brewery is itself a confluence of John and Ken’s love for Iowa and craft beer. 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.

This is one huge brewery in Des Moines and it didn't disappoint me at all. This place is very cool and has a good variety of beer on tap. I loved the "Long Ride" pale ale. They also have beer on cans and bottles. Right outside the brewery there is food truck where you'll find awesome gyros. The people in the brewery were very nice to the customers and the vibe was pretty good too. Overall, this is a really cool place in the town for the beerhunters!
