    Farro salad, potato soup with candied bacon, and the best brussel sprouts anywhere.
    J R.

    We absolutely love this place! The beers are so unique and plentiful--combined with their own sparkling options, there really is something for everyone. BUT--the unique food is SO good! Not just your typical pub fare, but interesting specials to accompany the favorite flatbreads, chili, and homemade soups, and special fave: Brussel sprouts with local Prairie Breeze cheese; truly the best sprouts we've had anywhere. Give this gem a try. The owners and staff are super friendly. Cool small town vibe. :)

    This place has the most excellent beer I've tasted in Iowa. It has such fun flavors and amazing IPA's. The stouts are so smooth. Also the food is to die for. I suggest the Brussels sprouts and the potato soup. I can't wait to come back to this place not only for the amazing things to eat and drink but also for the amazing owners and bartenders.

    Great brewery near Ames in Huxley, Iowa. I stopped in for the 1st time and the owner greeted me kindly and then I proceeded to talk to her about their different craft beers and about their brewing processes. It was a great experience and the brewery had an excellent variety of delicious craft beers along with a great atmosphere. They also had some awesome stories to go along with their different decor inside. And their flight boards for beer were made out of old fence posts, which I found to be very cool. This place is DEFINITELY a must stop for all travelling through!

    My husband thinks this is actually where the best burger in town is located?? I personally got the pizza & honestly - was not that impressed. However, no points docked due to trying his burger & melting into my seat. We tried the beer mixers & they were definitely something new to try! Staff was very friendly & our wait time was little to none for either food or drinks. Would recommend!

    Random search on Google led us to this very wonderful discovery. Great beer, great food. Amazing service from Pammie - so informative and super helpful. The trip was worth it just to meet her. In you are in the area, swing in and support this local business.

    Fabulous beer and food. Homey atmosphere with awesome wait staff! So many choices for craft beer and farm fresh food with weekly menu. Also flights at a reasonable price!

    Biscuits and gravy (biscuits made from the spent grains)

    Love!! We came yesterday for the first time. The place was great--nice decor, a bunch of different rooms, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The beers were pretty good. I'd like to come back in a few months to see if they polished up the final product. Except for their mimosa beer (mango blonde?)--that was perfection. Wow. That was a good beer! And it tasted just like--you guessed it--a mimosa. Also, they specialize in biscuits and gravy with biscuits made from the spent grains (from the beer-making process). How freaking cool is that?! What a novel idea! So we chowed down on biscuits and gravy while drinking our beer, and then, we had a thin mint cheesecake from the bakery next door for dessert. I'm 99% sure this brewery was made especially for me with three of my favorites: beer, biscuits and gravy, and cheesecake. Oooooooh man! You bet I'll be back. What a gem for Huxley, Iowa!

    Hi Gomer! Unfortunately, no. As of 09/09/20 we actually are not currently able to host anyone on our patio, but we're working on it! Once we are able to invite people to sit and have a beverage there though, we still will not be able to have our… Read more

    Confluence: A Biker's Paradise…read more Our most recent visit to Confluence in Des Moines was short and sweet--we met up with friends, grabbed a beer, and jumped back on our bikes. It's a fantastic spot for a quick stop or to sit and enjoy. Bike parking is ample and well-thought-out, just a short walk from the expansive outdoor patio. This space is a big draw, welcoming to both humans and dogs, and it fills up fast, especially when live music draws in the crowds. A big bonus is the limited walk-up bar on the patio, where you can order and pay with cash or card, as well as a fresh, cold water spigot to fill up your water bottle or give your furry friend a drink. The beer selection is generous, with a solid variety of their own brews and guest taps. Confluence makes some truly great beers, and the Des Moines IPA is one of my go-to staples. Inside, up the stairs, you'll find a great area with a full bar and plenty of seating, offering views of the brewery's inner workings. I believe they do tours, but I can't say for sure. One thing I can say is that the restrooms are clean and cool!

    Added Confluence to our route while biking on a beautiful summer Friday night because they are…read morelocated right off the trail and had a live band playing that night. Plenty of bicycle parking, outdoor shaded seating with an outdoor bar and they were hosting a food truck. More of an A/C type, there is seating inside with the main bar and a variety of board games to keep you entertained. I appreciate the wide variety of beers, including a couple sours, seltzers and NA options. Staff were friendly and super helpful! What a great night out.
