Hard cider from the Driftless

Natural | Whole Ingredient | Gluten Free | Community Sourced Agriculture

Convergence Ciders begin with whole ingredients; fruits and herbs, then pressed and fermented to create modern ciders that are on the drier side allowing the ingredients to tell a story of place and time. Their vision is to create locally focused hard cider while also engaging with the community through their fruit pressing service with a portion of the sales from their ciders being dedicated to community and industry partners.

And as you gear back up for your walk, run, ride or drive around Northeast Iowa, fuel up with something to eat as you choose from our snack, sandwich, side or dessert menu. Panini sandwiches or a soft Bavarian pretzel with warm homemade cheese dip. The gift shop has  PIVO merch and art made on-site at Blepta Studios. Check the website or Facebook for upcoming art classes where you can relax, sip, and paint with your friends. Consider booking a private art party.

With a rotating tap list that balances classic styles, unabashed hop-enthusiasm and adventurous flavor-infusions, we aim to provide our guests with a spectrum of tastes and experiences. Inside, our tasting room blends a cozy, rustic feeling with reclaimed barn wood walls & tabletops alongside the pride of our Founder's alma mater, Luther College. Seating for roughly 50 guests keeps things lively yet thoughtful for conversations. During the warmer months, our bay door opens to a shaded patio which doubles Pulpit Rock's capacity, and in the winter, you can enjoy your brew inside an igloo–because why not?! Pulpit Rock Brewing was expressly designed as a destination for people of all backgrounds and tastes. With a vibrant but balanced tap list, we encourage you to stop in and experience our approach to Contemporary American Beer. Come enjoy a delicious double IPA, a crisp Kölsch-style ale or a roasty Porter, with a routine brewing schedule of the same recipes stalls our enthusiasm for exciting flavor infusions, different hop varieties or unique yeast strains.
