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.
Sample at the 1st annual Columbus Beerfest on 05/28/10: The beer is a cloudy orange-gold color with a medium thick and fizzy white head that evaporates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Grassy hops and sweet malt in the nose. Light body with flavors of hops, hay, toasted malt and a touch of fruit. The finish is fruity with a mild hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Sample at the 1st annual Columbus Beerfest on 05/28/10: Pours a cloudy yellow color with a thin and wispy white head that disappears fairly quickly. Light spiced aroma with notes of citrus and a touch of skunk. Light body with flavors of sweet spice, yeast and slightly sour fruit. The finish is fruity with a short spiced aftertaste. Overall this one didn’t do much for me.
