    We've currently got a base Imperial Stout in 3 Weller Bourbon barrels. We'll probably see whats going on with one around FoBAB, but it'll depend how we're liking the barrel notes at that point. Otherwise, we'll probably do something for our one year anniversary with the three we've currently got. We plan to continue to build a barrel program though.

    We had to cut off crowlers of Murky Waters, the single IPA. Still a few kegs left for the tap, but we were going through it too quick with crowlers. Silt is still available for crowler fills. We'll be open again on Wednesday at noon

    Made it out there yesterday, really enjoyed all the beers. Great looking taproom, excited to return again.

    My favorite was the cinnamon stout komoho.

    stopped in for the first time today, nothing but impressed. the space is gorgeous. ipa's are all onpar with the best the city has to offer. corridor, more, og mikerphone. silt, murky waters, tevatron were all ridiculously good. acid was one of the best sours ive ever had, granted i dont drink them much.

    thrilled it is right down the street from me. incredibly happy i decided to skip mikerphone today and go here.

    Yeah the area has been lacking for a long time but between Riverlands and the new Beer Cellar, we’re entering the glory days.

    Stopped by last weekend. Great stuff, looking forward to more acid rainbow beers in the summer, perfect for hot days!

    It’s probably going to be awhile before I get out that way to try this place, but Murky Waters is a perfect beer name, especially from a brewery named Riverlands.

    Pride of the Fox is very flavorful for a 6% pale ale. It reminds me a bit of Dusty

    Did anyone ever find out what the lineage is for this brewery? Where they cut their teeth, if anywhere? Not that it really matters.....I’m just always curious to know where brewers came from when another one pops up. This place is fairly close to my parents House. Will definitely stop in next time I’m coming through with the family.

    I come from a home brew background for about 8 years, but spent a good amount of time over the past year and a half volunteering and job shadowing with the guys at More. That definitely helped me a ton making the transition from home brewer to professional

    I’m basically the same but I can’t find a brewery that is up for shadowing/volunteer work. Congrats on the early success

    Where is the best place to see what beers you currently have on tap and to go? Planning on stopping in at lunch tomorrow to get some beers for a long weekend in Michigan.

    I looked there first. I know they had beers in that section of their website before but there aren't any currently. Wasn't sure if they were going to switch to untappd, instagram etc.

    Yep, the link posted above is updated anytime our taplist changes. Otherwise we're a verified venue if you use untappd, so that's always up to date.
