Three New Beers to Help You Beat the Heat this Week! (6/26)

Summer has made itself very well known around here recently, so we’re dropping three beers that will help you beat the heat!

1. Salty Fox: White Sangria!

We brewed up a German Gose-Style sour ale and fruited it with white grapes, orange, lemon, lime, and Mediterranean Sea Salt! Salt in your Sangria?! You bet, and you’ll thank us as you keep taking sip after satisfying sip! Plus, it’s just 4% ABV, so you’ll feel like filling a pitcher and sharing with some friends!

2. Rio de Vaso Mexican-Style Dark Lager!

Brewed in collaboration with our friends at the Iron&Glass taprooms, this dark lager does a balancing act between full flavor and high drinkability. Malty and smooth, yet light bodied and easy to put down, this beer is fantastic for summer drinking. And at 5% ABV, it won’t slow you down early in the day.

3. River Life Pale Lager!

One of our most popular light drinking beers, River Life is your every day beer for doing chores, mowing lawns, lazy river days, and quenching that mid-day thirst. At just 4.8% ABV, it invites another can when you finish your last one.

Introducing: Naiad's Pride Berliner Weiss - 6/1 Release

Naiad’s Pride, a berliner weiss with dragon fruit, pine apple, and peach, releases on Sunday, June 1st, at noon supporting BEYONG Fox Valley.

When we opened our brewery over six years ago, one of our driving forces was creating a space for our entire community where EVERYONE felt welcome. A place where folks from our hometown of St. Charles and surrounding communities could gather, share a beer, and enjoy our space without fear of ridicule or judgement.

Naiad’s Pride, a new fruited berliner weiss (a type of German-style sour wheat ale) fruited with dragon fruit, pineapple, and peach, hits the taps and to-go cooler at noon on Sunday, June 1, in celebration of Pride Month. Join us for live music by Nicole Devine and Teddy D’s Food Truck as well!

We brewed this beer in partnership with BELONG Fox Valley, a local non-profit organization dedicated to creating an inclusive space for the LGBTQIA+ community in the Fox Valley area. A portion of the proceeds from this beer will go directly to BELONG.

You can also help BELONG directly on Monday, June 23, during our Music Bingo Monday Fundraiser! Every Monday, we play music bingo from 6pm to 8pm with a limit of ONE CARD per person. But for this special event, players can receive a bonus music bingo card with any donation of cash or items they’ve requested for their events, such as:

  • Capri Sun Packs

  • Snack Bags of Chips, Doritos, etc

  • Dominos PIzza Gift Cards

Be sure to present your donation to our host to receive your bonus music bingo card!

At Riverlands, we choose to see beyond political parties, religious affiliations, and divisive rhetoric to see the good in every person who walks into our brewery. It’s simple, really. Treat others as you wish to be treated. We welcome all who share this belief and want to raise a pint with their neighbors, friends, and families.
