Lucky Year Seven - Riverlands Anniversary Party

As we celebrate Year Seven of this brewing adventure, we feel absolutely LUCKY to be part of the St. Charles and Tri-Cities communities! We wouldn't be here without YOU, our guests and friends, and on March 21st, we plan to celebrate accordingly.

Doors open at 12pm with Riverlands VII Barrel Aged Imperial Stout on tap and in .500ml bottles to-go. This year's carefully selected blend of bourbon and rye barrels has taken well to our proprietary stout base. These bottles will be available at our taproom while they last.

The day is filled with food, music, good times, and friends!

- Le Truff Noir feeding us from 12pm to Sellout

- Eddy Birth Duo playing live from 1pm to 4pm

- Matt Keen playing live from 6pm to 9pm

Never Meek Release Party - Pink Boots Chicago Collab for International Women's Day

Celebrating International Women's Day, we're proud to present Never Meek, an English Dark Mild brewed in collaboration with the Pink Boots Society Illinois Chapter!

Back in late January, Pink Boots members and members of our staff gathered at our brewery in St. Charles to create Never Meek under the watchful eye of our own Assistant Brewer, Brianna. Their mission of empowering women and non-binary individuals in the Illinois brewing industry is important to our crew, and we're extremely excited to share this beer with everyone!

For this official release party, we'll be tapping Never Meek at noon on 3/6 and offering 4-packs to-go while they last. Stop by, hang out, grab some Filipino grub from the Stix & Noodles food truck starting at 5pm, and try this new offering for yourself.

Head in a Pine Tree Spruce IPA - SPECIAL TAPPING

Join us Thursday, November 20, for a whole day of good times and sharing memories both old and new as we tap a new iteration of a local favorite:

Head in a Pine Tree Spruce IPA!

Sound familiar? If you're a St. Charles local, it might! This beer was originally brewed by our dear friend Alex Dreyer at the former D and G Brewing here in our hometown.

Alex was kind enough to share his recipe with us for one of his most popular beers, and even came by to lend a hand during brewday! He even sourced some AMAZINGLY aromatic spruce tips for us.

Even better? He'll be here Thursday at some point to help us christen this special tapping. Maybe you'll catch him!

Available on tap and in 4-packs starting at noon. Food by the INCREDIBLE Smeauxk Craft BBQ at 5pm and General Trivia at 7pm.

Head in a Pine Tree Spruce IPA - Special Tapping Thursday, November 20, at noon and lasting all day!
