Description
The beginning of Riverlands Brewing Company is a story that captures everything that we love about not only beer, but life. We started dreaming up this brewery at a Fourth of July BBQ on a beautiful sunny day surrounded by family, friends, and of course, great beer. Our brewery is owned and operated by family and close friends, and our beer is best enjoyed in the company of such. When you visit our taproom, you'll be included in that family feel of our brewery, and you'll enjoy some great beer too.
At Riverlands, we brew the beer that we love. We're inspired both by balance, and the lack thereof. We appreciate huge hop aroma and flavor of a New England Style IPA, thick flavored stouts, and tart sours equally with the delicate balance of a well constructed lager. You'll find all of that with us and everything in between. We pour ourselves into each batch we make, each glass we fill. You'll never find a beer from Riverlands that was not obsessed over from the time the recipe was constructed, to the moment it finds its way to your table.
We are located in St Charles, Illinois, just a couple miles from the Fox River. St Charles' motto is "The Pride of the Fox." We are truly part of this community, with several members of our team growing up and still residing here. We embrace the saying, "Brewed With Pride, Enjoy The Ride" in the same way. We are proud of every one of our beers and the work that went into them. We're proud of the hard work each of us put into our brewery. Mostly, we're proud to be part of the ever growing community that is craft beer, and we will always bring our unrelenting enthusiasm for what we do to all of you.
Cheers.

16oz can c/o Ryan. Rather excellent Hazy IPA. Straight up Citra, bit big and bold enough to work. Oats, wheat, yeast or all three keep it thick and sweet. All around solid.

16oz can c/o Ryan. Really nice stuff. Great body, creamy and soft. Massive hop expression, one of the best if not the best Peacharine tone I've come across. Kind of a thicker, creamier body than most hazies. Nails it.

Aroma has light mango and sweet citrus with a hint of rind and sweet grains backing. Flavor has light sweet citrus and a bit of rind with some flora, sweet grain and mango supporting.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a very large foamy tan head that persisted and laced. Aroma is chocolate. Med body. Flavor is dark malt with notes of chocolate and grass/spice. Fairly dry with enough bitter for balance. Good.
