Decided to do the mug club. Not too bad of deal.
Really nice mug that's probably worth $30+
$10 GC.
12 or so free 20oz pours
Any non BA beer you buy will be served in this mug.
Hopefully on Thursday nights the kids stay home or they do something about the noise from the bowling.

Mostly mediocre to negative reviews. But they also lasted 8 years and there's something to be said for that.
Be interesting to see how the new owner is
It’s probably the least talked about brewery in the Des Moines area if that tells you anything.
They were terrible. Worst beer I've had in the metro. It's a miracle they survived this long
Valley Junction is becoming more of a "cool" spot so there is potential there
It's just not really "part" of Valley Junction though.
Edit: I guess I kind of take it back. I haven't been there since The Hall/Foundry opened. I thought it was further down. I still think it would be hard to open a new brewery there. I could see an established brewery moving there but the space isn't huge.
you're right its not exactly on the main drag but yeah being close to the Hall / foundry probably helps
also helps its close to the bike path
Fox just never made any exceptional beers. There were some OK ones, but nothing that would inspire me to go out of my way to go there. Early on, I know the owner refused to make an IPA because he didn't like that style. This is when IPAs were really starting to be the big thing on the beer scene. I thought it was a terrible business approach to not make something simply because you didn't like it, and it told me a lot about the attitude of the owner/brewer. I'm surprised they lasted this long.
I just mean from the stand point of them wanting a brewery to anchor the space, and Des Moines being a really crowded beer scene.
I would love for Confluence to open up a taproom there
This was planned and designed prior to Cy-town being a thing
