Des Moines Breweries

They just tapped it on Wednesday, so I'd be shocked if it was. Better not be - I haven't made it in to try yet!

 

I think @iRun2Beer was just referring to having been here earlier... missing it BEFORE it was released. I'm planning on stopping in on Sunday. Haven't been there in a while.
Taking a buddy out... He's never been to any local breweries (except Trucker since we're in Ankeny). 515, Confluence, and Fox are the destinations. I've never been to Fox, so it'll be good to scope it out.

 

I'm curious to hear how Blase turned out. Passe and Mediocre were awesome but I love Citra and Mosaic. Simcoe by itself, I'm not sure about. Wasn't Surly Wet all Simcoe this year? That one didn't exactly blow my hair back. And Hop C didn't seem right to me. Seemed like it wasn't fully dried out yet when I went there on the night it tapped.

 

Fox has some work to do yet. I think the blonde was my favorite and I've tried them all. The space is pretty cool though. Make sure you go upstairs to check out the mezzanine overlooking the brew area.

 

This. Sorry for the confusion. I was there the Sunday before the release.

 

top notch boarding

 

Curious to what brewery(s) or places you ended up hitting and your thoughts, OP.
