Berries & Barbs Blonde Ale w/Strawberries & Rhubarb
Confluence Brewing Company

Strawberries and rhubarb have teamed up for centuries to provide a beautiful marriage of sweet and tart in all manner of foods, from jams and jellies to cobblers and pies. Combining disparate elements in food can produce a depth of flavor that remains beautifully balanced in the end. At Confluence, we often approach beer with that mindset—trying to find a harmony between malt sweetness and hop bitterness, or rich chocolate and dry roastiness to create the most nuanced and approachable beers that we can. So, naturally, we needed to make a beer with one of the most classic opposing flavor combinations around. A blonde ale base provides a clean backdrop for the strawberries and rhubarb to shine, and the taste is just as good as it's always been.
