ARL Rescue Beer

This is how we brew it!

The Animal Rescue League of Iowa is partnering with Confluence Brewing Company to launch a special ARL Rescue Beer which could feature YOUR PET!

Just take a pitcher.... oops - we mean picture! - of your pet and enter them into the Rescue Beer contest. Start collecting votes by sharing with your friends, family, neighbors, or anyone else whose heart malts at the sight of adorable pets.

Don't forget to join us for Yappy Hour at Confluence Brewing on August 1 for the launch of the Rescue Beer, raffle prizes, and $1 from each drink you purchase will be donated back to pets in need.

Check out our 2024 Rescue Beer winner! Will your pet be next?
