Rock Dodger is our salute to the many beer-loving bicyclists across Iowa, especially those who regularly traverse the 75-yard gravel path from Gray’s Lake bike trail to Confluence Brewery for a pint.
We started with American two-row barley malt, Belgian pilsner malt and just a touch of specialty caramel malt. Then we added a blend of hops — including Citra (the star of our popular South Side Citra Ale), Crystal and Simcoe. The result is a beer in which the sweet malt is balanced by moderate bitterness and infused with tropical and citrus fruit flavor and aroma. For a big ABV double IPA that’s as smooth as a freshly paved bike path, try Rock Dodger.
