Common descriptors are May is a time for looking both forward and back in Iowa. It’s a month when farmers perform their annual act of optimism by planting a new crop and also when communities of every size pause to remember fallen veterans on Memorial Day.
Confluence commemorates these annual rites of May with our version of this traditional late-spring bock. We combined American two row premium pilsner malt with German Munich and cara-Munich malts for richness and depth. German noble hops and German lager yeast add a sweet, spicy balance to the rich malt profile. The result is a hoppy, amber salute to the month of May. This beer is released on May 1 in limited quantities, so get it while it lasts. |
