What To Expect
1
Confluence Brewing Company
These breweries are sample itineraries only. All schedules are subject to change. Confluence Brewing Company was born out of humble beginnings and a passion for home brewing that was sparked back in 1991. Fast forward to 2012, when co-founder John Martin took the leap from amateur home brewer to professional and soon found himself overwhelmed with demand for his beer during the early days of Iowaā€™s craft beer movement. Confluence continued to attract interest over the years and now boasts a large team of creative craft beer lovers. Swing by their taproom to sample some of the 30 beers on tap, admire the impressive brewing equipment on display, and hang out with friends and family.

Firetrucker Brewery
Established in 2014 inside Ankenyā€™s old, brick fire station, Firetrucker Brewery has been making an impact on the community with their appreciation for the arts in every formā€”including the art of craft beer! From in house art shows and community art events to the Firetrucker beer in your hand, creativity is all around this Iowa brewery. Itā€™s with the spirit to push the boundaries that Firetrucker brews their beer, and it shows with each sip.

Fox Brewing
All are welcome at Fox Brewing, where imagination, fun, and humor are celebrated! Established in 2015 by Brian Fox, this brewery embraces quality over quantity and inclusion over snobbery as well as encourages you to tap into your inner ā€œkitā€ with their board games, video games, and foosball table. But itā€™s not just the games that will keep you there. Every bit of their tap roomā€™s quirkiness and playfulness is reflected in their beer. In addition to their flagship beers, Fox Brewing has fun experimenting with the brew process to continuously offer new and creative beers throughout the year!

Peace Tree Brewing Company - Des Moines Branch
With a little bit of vision and dedication, a former Nash Rambler car dealership in Knoxville, Iowa was transformed into the original location of Peace Tree Brewing Company. They held their grand opening in that cool, old, brick building in March 2010, and since then Peace Tree has been following their passion to brew great beer and expanding to include multiple taprooms. Their name, Peace Tree Brewing Company, honors an historic grand sycamore that was located around Red Rock, IA. It was under this tree that Native Americans and fur traders would meet and treaties would be made; and with a nod to that legend, Peace Tree Brewing Company hopes that their beer brings friends and strangers alike together.

I booked this tour to fill some time while i was in Des Moines. So glad I did!! I love the way the tours are run. They drive you out to different breweries and choose beers for you to try that are based on what you like to drink. Our guide Katie was amazing! She was friendly, knowledgeable and ALWAYS chose great beers for us!! Then on our 3rd brewery stop, we had lunch (and more beers). The food was great. At all our stops, we were never rushed and always had plenty to drink. This tour was a great way to meet friendly people and see some local breweries!! I highly recommend. Thanks KATIE!!!!!
