Confluence Collab

Get ready for the ulti-mutt collaboration between Confluence Brewing and Paws & Pints! Our friends at Confluence Brewing Co. have served the Des Moines dog and beer community for years, which is why we are so excited to collaborate with them to bring their famous “Farmer’s Best Friend” beer exclusively to Paws & Pints. It only makes sense to have Farmer’s Best Friend at Your Best Friend’s Bar!

Here’s the best part: proceeds from every can or draft goes to help a local animal rescue, shelter or foundation. We like to say, “This light beer is crushable for a cause!” We hope you enjoy it! We’ll pick a new organization every few months, so make sure to ask our staff which cause we’re supporting.
