First and foremost, we will be celebrating with Piney River beer all weekend long–Friday from 4 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 12 to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 12 to 5 p.m.
We will not have a food truck at the BARn on Friday or Sunday, but we will have our delicious Piney River Pizza. So, if you want a pizza with your beer, have our staff whip one up for you.
Do you need a place to stay this weekend? Check out the variety of places in our area under “local info”. Boiling Springs Resort in Licking has camping and RV hook ups available, and they will shuttle you to/from the brewery. Area motels have rooms available, and you may be able to find a cool cottage or cabin to stay in, too.
If you are planning to stay in the vicinity of the Big Piney River, you can get a shuttle ride to/from the brewery for $20 roundtrip. Boiling Springs Resort is doing the shuttling, and you can schedule your ride by calling 573-674-3488.
The BIG event will be Saturday’s party with lots of beer, Mike & Julie’s Smoked Meats or Piney River Pizza and two bands—Joshin the Giants from Joplin and Jervis Jort from Kansas City.
Mother Nature has been giving us grey hair with this cold, then rain, then warm, then rain…yada, yada. The forecast is clearing up nicely for the best day of 2018 on Saturday afternoon at the Farm! (And if something weird does happen with the weather, we’ve got plenty of indoor space available, too.)
If you’ve got a camp chair or two, bring them along. You may want to put them out for a sit in the grass around the brewery. Pop up tents, tables, picnic blankets and yard games are welcome, too. Weather permitting, the two bands will be jamming on our lower deck, and we’ll have both barns open with taps flowing!
Here are a few more details for the big day:
- The Aleiversary is free admission as our thanks to you for your great support over the past 7 years!
- The Aleiversary is open to all ages. We will give all attendees over the age of 21 a wristband so you don’t have to show your ID every time you want a beer. If you don’t have a wristband, you will be asked to show ID and our servers can provide you with a wristband.
- Pets are welcome, but they MUST be on a leash.
- There will be two locations serving beer—inside the big brewery barn and inside the BARn taproom. You will need a “beer ticket” to purchase a beer. All beers are $5. Some beers are in a 16 oz. cup and some are in a 12 oz. cup, but they are all $5.
- You can purchase beer tickets in the tent outside the brewery or in the tap room with cash or credit. There is no limit to the number of beer tickets you buy at one time. Please be aware: you cannot hand cash to a server and purchase a beer. You must hand over a beer ticket. This will make the beer lines move much faster.
- Mike & Julie’s Smoked Meats will be back again at the Aleiversary with some of their favorites and some brand new food items for our festivities. We GREATLY appreciate Mike & Julie coming out to serve food, so we would like to kindly ask that you enjoy something delicious from them. Piney River Pizza will be available in the BARn. Food will be served from 12 p.m. until 7 p.m. or until it’s gone. Our gas grill will not be available on Saturday.
- Please bring a DD to the Aleiversary or make arrangements for a shuttle ride. Andy’s Homemade Root Beer will be available in the taproom and at the beer trailer. Water will be available, too.
- OUTSIDE ALCOHOL IS ABSOLUTELY NOT PERMITTED. We have a wide variety of beers to choose from for everyone to enjoy.
- Last call will be at 6:30 p.m.
- Due to the large number of people in attendance at the Aleiversary, we will not fill growlers, do sample trays, or give tours on 3/24. We will fill crowlers only beginning at 6 p.m. in the BARn, and they are “to go” only.
- Finally, 2018 Mule Team IPA will be for sale at both beer pouring stations. We have a limited number of 4-packs of our 2018 Mule Team IPA for sale, $12 each. You will be able to purchase a ticket for a 4-pack (or more) of 2018 Mule Team IPA in the brewery or in the taproom. You will receive a ticket for your 4-pack(s), and you can redeem it as you leave.
- We also have a small amount of 2018 Barrel Aged Raise A Ruckus available, and we will have it for sale in 4-packs for $18 each, also with the same ticket method.
Thank you so much for joining us at the Aleiversary. We hope you and your family and friends have a wonderful time. Piney River would not be what it is today without the support of craft beer loving friends like you!
