We’re a company built on the passion of a lifelong homebrewer. That makes teaming up with the IBU homebrewers club kind of a no-brainer, and we take that opportunity every chance we get. Top-showing Iowa Beer in the 2022 IBU Open Competition: Rauchbier. Designed by fellow south siders Randy Daniels and Kc McKinney, scaled up by the Confluence Crew, and brewed together, this classic German style is dark in appearance with a full, malty body and delightfully smoky flavor! Notes of smoked ham and bacon mingle with the sweet German malts under an aroma reminiscent of a backyard cookout in the fall, providing a perfect example of what you can do when you bring good, passionate people together. From Confluence, Randy, and Kc.

Nice SRM, head starts out really nice but could have better retention. Smell is very balanced and not a ham bomb. Flavor is nicely balanced too, with caramel notes following the smoke and rounding it out well. Feel is a tad thin, but not bad. Pretty decent example of the style.
