The sun came up on March 28, 2026 to the 15th anniversary of Piney River Brewing Co. Just like Saturdays for the past 15 years, we opened our doors and poured our beers. Fifteen years later, we are still pretty amazed to be here. Even more amazing that we have made so many friends over the years that celebrate with us!
Brian and I tried to talk to or at least smile at everyone on Saturday. I managed to pour a few pints for people, too. Andy was home for the week on a short break between his winter and spring quarters, so he was able to see many people which was also nice. We had several distribution and retail partners join us, which is always fun! We love showing the people that sell Piney River beer just how much you love what we do.
Enjoy these scenes from our big day.
BIG, HUGE thanks to our people–the beertenders and brewers that help make this day and every day at Piney River delicious and fun!
Casidy, Stephanie & Kenzie worked our outside tent as our guest beertenders this year.
Tinga Tacos served up basket after basket of fresh tacos & nachos! Check out their brick and mortar in downtown Springfield!
The upper and lower decks and yard were covered up with people!
The yard was full of people, too!
The BARn was packed from rafter to rafter.
Josie, James & Brandon VanKirk performed solo acoustic sets followed up by a full performance by the Lone Pine Band.
Thank you friends!
The best part about our 15th Aleiversary–we came together in the middle of some cow pastures and woods in the Ozarks to celebrate with friends. Yesterday, I spied a red MAGA hat and a button that said “Stop Project 2025”. There were all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds, young and old, from five-day old Lucy at her first brewery to my dad celebrating his 78th birthday. We raised pints. We ate tacos. We tapped our toes and even danced to the music.
A little over 15 years ago Brian and I decided to create something that we would enjoy visiting in the place we loved the most. Thank you for being part of the dream coming true for the past 15 years. Let’s keep it going….
