Riverlands Brewing Co

Growing into the space as they enter their fourth year of business.
Chill vibe with an underlying energy as they fill up. Entertainment options include card, board, and table games, shuffleboard, and frequent live music.
10 stools at the bar and room for another 50 or so at high tops and four tops.
An outdoor patio has been added with picnic tables to seat 60 beer lovers with popular outdoor games available; bags mostly.
Basic, common, snacks are the only food available, but food trucks are frequently scheduled, especially on the weekend.

Beers include the popular styles like pastry stouts, hazy IPA, and seltzers and sours, but they often have a lager on as well. The Vienna lager, Biergarden Symphony, was nice and clean and the anniversary triple was bold yet fruity.

Bar service is intelligent and willing, but no table service.
Location is on a bike path and not too far from several other breweries for hopping.

 

 

Not the shortest, easiest drive, but there are plenty worse. The place is set in one of the usual commercial/industrial areas, this one with a nice brick-façade aesthetic, surrounded by a gym, a boxing/muay thai joint, and a doggie motel. Right on. Plenty of patio space, but it's humid as hell out there today, so me and my near-albino ass is headed inside. There I find a large open loft-like space, paneled in wood, open ceilings, plenty of polished wood tables (including a few set on barrels that look like they were forged from a fallen tree slice), the requisite brewing equipment in the back-left, and a faux-pergola'd bar in the customer area's back, next to a cooler of carry-out 4-packs and bottles. Gotta dig the vibe when the Beat's "Sooner or Later" comes on whilst you enjoy your barrel-aged PB breakfast stout. Some [I assume to be] local art on display, ringing the space, for sale (not gonna lie, a nice touch, as I've gotten some solid finds this way). Couple of the brewing staff are present, jawing away the way they should be. The bartender is friendly, more than able to explain the offerings. Considering it's a Saturday afternoon, prior to a holiday (plus a major street race drawing some crowds to the City), and it's showing occasional signs of rain, it's pretty light in the way of foot traffic, but it's clear the vibe is strongly laid back here. Dig it. Nice place to hang if in the area, I would say; just wish it were a bit more accessible by the public transit options (that one bus line needs to pick it up, baby, it's got too few trips goin').

 

 

Nicely decorated tap room with a bar and tables for seating. They had 16 beers on tap and a guest cider. There 6 different beers in cans to go as well. The quality of the beer is very good to excellent. Recommended.
