Iowa Farmers Supply Corn for Return of Yield of Dreams Beer

Yield of Dreams, a lager brewed with corn from across Iowa, is returning with hopes of making an even bigger splash. For the second consecutive year, the Iowa Corn Promotion Board (ICPB) has partnered with Confluence Brewing, the Iowa Brewers Guild and Choose Iowa to bring back Yield of Dreams.    

Eighteen farmers from across Iowa, two from each of the Iowa Corn crop reporting districts, supplied the corn that brewed the 2025 Yield of Dreams. Each farmer donated roughly 1.25-1.5 bushels of corn totaling 12 bushels, or nearly 672 pounds of corn.   

“I believe this will open outlets to not only growers but a variety of small businesses as well, and to reflect that we are finding many avenues to open markets for our corn,” said Travis & Erinn Spevacek, Iowa corn farmers from Iowa City, Iowa. “It is always important to be involved when called upon. Anytime the farming community can demonstrate our quality products grown in our great state, you know it will be rewarding to share with others!”
