Capital Gold by Confluence Brewing Company in Iowa, United States

About Capital Gold by Confluence Brewing Company

Glowing like the Iowa Capitol dome in Iowa’s capital city, Des Moines, this golden lager is brewed with time-honored German brewing methods. Its slightly sweet, bready, malty flavor comes from the finest German two-row barley, and is balanced perfectly by traditional German noble hops with medium-low hop bitterness. Like building the magnificent 23-karat gold leaf Iowa Capitol dome itself, traditional lager yeast can’t be rushed. This delicate beauty undergoes a lagering period of three to four weeks after initial fermentation to bring out the best this beer has to offer. The result is a beer which, much like Iowa, has something for everyone — satisfying to the experienced craft beer drinker, yet welcoming to those new to craft beer.


It all started, improbably enough, with a failed attempt to make “raisin almond beer.”
