Scooter’s 1338th bar, first visited in 2019.

Confluence Brewing, Des Moines

Though I’ve had some of their beer before, this is my first visit to an Iowa brewery. I had the Double Dry Hopped South Side Citra W/ Tangerine And Orange Peel, the Royal Roots Porter, the Camp Fire Black Lager (Port Barrel Aged), and one of the greatest beer experiences of all time, the Anniversary Porter 2014.

BTW the staff here was extremely friendly and helpful.

We found out our next stop, Exile, was not open yet after all due to the holiday. So we took off east instead of west, intending to have lunch at the Iowa Taproom, but we got distracted along the way…
