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.

Twist off cap on a short stubby bottle. Pours like a fest. Smell is a little clean metallic. Quite strong initial alky blast, now I see its 7%. Yes, I’d say an almost impy fest. Malty mixture lacking much fest festiveness. Almost has an old lager feel to it. A little sizzly at time and this saves it. Looks like a fest but its more than a fest. Some medicinal attributes on the finish.

Found at vintage estate. Was expecting something a little better, perhaps wilder on the yeast side. Decent CO2 but comes across like many fruit beers, dull fruit unsweetened feeling and it seems to be a little higher in alky content, possibly even 6% or so. Medicinal in flavor but not medicinal like a highly hopped IPA. Smell is blueberry or fruit or something with a tart or sour olfactory. Yep, can’t say much about this, however, if you are a big fan of not sweet fruit beers, give this a try.

Bottle. Bottle. Clear brown body. Fizzy, light brown head, slowly diminishing. Aroma of caramel, roasted malt, nuts. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly to moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Taste of grains and caramel with a hint of cherry tartness. Medium body, watery texture, moderate carbonation. Average.

My bottle says wit ale but there is very little, if any, rude ale in this brew. From the twist off cap start to the finsh a very good experience. Nice tubby bottle pours without an issue, very nice. Smell is a little tart. Taste is unique and nice, lovely actually. Sour wild beer ecfects that are just so pleasant. Really nice CO2 and a certainty that this is wit beer, though not really its color. Very nice tartness that comes across almost like a sour soda, yeah! Glad I got to try this one! Would not hesitate to purchase again.

Bottle from Belmont Party Supply shared with the DC crew. Gusher. Pours a hazy straw color with a fizzy white head. Decent head retention. Very tart aroma with notes of citrus, must, vegetal notes and sweet fruit notes. The taste is tart citrus, caramel and earthy notes. Medium bodied.
