Confluence Brewery celebrates 10 years with 10 beers

• Years later he left a construction gig to start Confluence — during a time when the profession was not well defined.
• Craft brewing has since become big business and Confluence is among Iowa's largest producers.

State of play: Some of the new beers are collaborations with other Iowa breweries.

• Chocolate birthday cake stout, with Gezellig and Lake Time
• Remnant, a rye wine-style ale with Lion Bridge and Lua

Of note: Kaltrauch, a German-style beer from Confluence, won a gold medal earlier this month in the Great American Beer Festival.

🎉 Celebrate: Confluence is hosting a three-day party with bands, food trucks, artist booths and on site T-shirt printing.

• Friday at 3:30pm; and beginning at noon Saturday and Sunday.
