Description
We are a family-owned, independent craft brewery with taproom and full-service BBQ eatery located in Monroe, Ohio. At Rivertown, we believe in brewing traditional and innovative craft beer and slow-smoking BBQ in a way that encourages connection, and conversation.

We aren't defined by one style of beer, because at our brewery, we brew a touch of everything from traditional, technically-sound, delicate lagers to spontaneously fermented and intentionally blended barrel-aged sours and every style in between. When it comes to our BBQ, we draw inspiration from many different styles, including St. Louis, Texas, the Carolinas, but most importantly, our juicy, slow-smoked BBQ is inspired by our Team's creativity and you.

Rivers have always been the heart of community, innovation and activity; come enjoy our interpretation of a Rivertown, where tradition, innovation and flavor is blended with community, caring and tenacity to create a noteworthy and memorable experience.

Bottle. Ok, first time trying this style and tried to be fair but just don’t care for it. Aroma was extremely funky. Taste like cider vinegar, mixed with malt and hops, sour. Cloudy with bits of stuff floating in it.

Bottle. Oh man was I disappointed. From a city of traditional Germans. This stuff was awful. Hefeweizen needs to be hefeweizen and not mixed with a pilsner. Put this one to bed.
