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.

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 “kit” with their board games, video games, and foosball table. But it’s not just the games that will keep you there. Every bit of their tap room’s quirkiness and playfulness is reflected in their beer.

Stop At: Peace Tree Brewing Company – Des Moines Branch, 317 E Court Ave, Des Moines, IA 50309-2014
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.
