The 1848 Gold Rush transformed a small trading post into the city of St Joseph. And at River Bluff Brewing, we are continuing that tradition by crafting our own “gold.” We are modern Gold Rush tradesman, living and traveling among the bluffs mixing quality hops and malt reaped from the earth. We are brewers and passionate explorers crafting unique elixirs, inspired by old and new methods. This is the quest of River Bluff Brewing, to navigate the rivers and uncover own our “liquid gold.” The previous home of two pre-prohibition breweries, River Bluff Brewing is housed in the historic 1224 Frederick building.

Even if you do not recognize a lot of the neon signage and other relics around and inside the pub, you will appreciate the lively and authentic vibe they impart. If you do recognize the artifacts, you will appreciate the effort and expense RBB have gone to to save important pieces of St. Joe’s past. Their preservationist chops include incorporating into the structure of the building the entry door to the tragically lost and historic Pioneer Building. This is, though not a museum. The pub also has a chic modern ambience. The space feels very open due to large windows onto the street and generous deck seating. The pub has its own large and well-lit lot with excellent handicap accessibility. As for the beer, you will be spoiled for choice. Their offerings run the gamut. They have styles from light and low ABV to strong ales as high as 11% ABV. What is more, they frequently refresh their offerings to supplement regular favorites with new/rotating specials and one-offs.
