Two brewers (husband and wife), one big old barn, one river located just down the hill below the barn and an idea for something that may be a little work that leads to a lot more fun.

Thank You for Celebrating 8 Years with Piney River!

March 23 was everything a Piney River Aleiversary was supposed to be--mostly lots of celebrating with you!  Excellent tunes piped across the fields by The Layton Hollow Gals and The Hurricanes.  Delicious food from Ozark Mountain BBQ and The Chef's Table at Dawt Mill. We had a little sunshine at the beginning of the day, and a little rain at the end, but a great time was had by all.  Thank you so much for celebrating with us in 2019!  We couldn't have done this without you and your support of our little brewery in Bucyrus!

The Best Aleiversary Line Up EVER Beer Events

The Best Aleiversary Line Up EVER

It's really hard to believe that nine years ago we opened the red door on the BARn and invited anyone that was interested to come try some beer that Brian and I brewed on our Sabco Brew Magic.  Andy was a four-year old.  We had our first dog, Sam, and our first cats, Barney and Pumpkin.  The girlfriends were all pretty young. Fast forward nine years--Andy's got his own Root Beer line! We've got our second dog, Annie, and two more cats, Skylar and BC.  Some of the girlfriends' babies are raising their own young on the Farm these days.…

Eighth Aleiversary Event Planned at Piney River Brewing

Bucyrus, Missouri • February 23, 2019—Piney River Brewing Company is celebrating their eighth anniversary on Saturday, March 23rd at the brewery in Bucyrus. The “8th Aleiversary” party will be held at the BARn—the brewery and tap room located off Junction ZZ in Bucyrus—from 12 to 7 p.m. This year’s Aleiversary event features special beer releases, two bands, and two food trucks. Mule Team IPA, an imperial India pale ale, is released annually at Piney River’s Aleiversary.

Who’s Ready to Raise A Ruckus? Beer EventsThe Beer

Who’s Ready to Raise A Ruckus?

“This is the best one yet,” Brian said last week. Brian was talking about our annual Raise A Ruckus Imperial Stout.  This beer is only made once a year, and we’ve only made it three times in the life of our brewery, inspired by a beer we brewed with Michael Wells, a home brewer from Kansas City. That’s why it’s craft beer—because we’re hopefully getting better at our craft every time we work at it. 2019 Raise A Ruckus Imperial Stout went into cans and kegs today. The celebration of this once-a-year, limited release beer begins this weekend at the…

Birth. Movies. Death. And Beer! Beer EventsThe Beer

Birth. Movies. Death. And Beer!

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema has a motto: Birth. Movies. Death. If you’ve ever been to an Alamo Drafthouse, you know that it’s not just “going to see a movie”. At Alamo, it's about having a “movie experience”. Leather recliners. Well-behaved guests. Great food and drink served to you while you watch your movie. The Alamo Drafthouse movie experience is awesome! Brian and I were kinda excited about the Alamo Drafthouse that was slated to come to Springfield, MO in 2017. We distinctly remember the time we were vacationing with a very young Andy that wanted to see a new cartoon movie…

Fall on the Farm Beer Events

Fall on the Farm

We have been asked for a long time about holding an event on the Farm during the autumn months. It seems like we spend a lot of the weekends in the fall doing events everywhere but at home. Join us this Saturday for Fall on the Farm. We've got music! Two BARn favorites, Keith Allen and Casey Lynne will both play sets. We've got food! TNT Wing Machine from Van Buren will have all the chicken--wings, sandwiches, bone-in, boneless.  We're excited to have them join us for the first time.  We will also have soft pretzels and beer cheese in…

The Biggest Beer Fest in the US Beer Events

The Biggest Beer Fest in the US

Are you coming to see us at the 2018 Great American Beer Festival in Denver next week? Brian & Joleen - GABF '17  There’s a whole new set up on the festival floor this year, and we’re excited about it!  In the past, the festival has been divided by region, which was fine but weird.  Our friends and neighbors in Illinois were located in the “Great Lakes” region, not the Midwest.  We always had people say they were looking for us next to breweries in the Great Lakes area, or they would have a Piney River beer and ask where…

German Road is an Oktoberfest Beer, too The Beer

German Road is an Oktoberfest Beer, too

Last fall Brian and I decided that in 2018 we would make an Oktoberfest-style beer. We enjoyed three delicious ones that led to our decision—Marshall Brewing Oktoberfest; Sun King Brewing Oktoberfest, and Highland Brewing Clawhammer Oktoberfest.  None of those beers are available in Missouri, but if you are in Oklahoma, Indiana, or North Carolina, get your hands on one of those Oktoberfest beers! So…we drank some delicious Oktoberfest beers, and as it tends to happen when we drink, we decided to brew a beer. The awesome thing about this beer is that while Brian and I made the decision to…
