A Celebration of 14 Years of Craft Beer in the Ozarks
From the bottom of our pint glasses--Thank you for celebrating with us! We couldn't have asked for better weather for the 14th Aleiversary if we tried. January and February had stupid cold days and wet, nasty weekends (except for one). The wind would not stop blowing in March. I'm not talking about breeze. I'm talking about 35-40 MPH wind where your hair always looks like you are riding motorcycle without a helmet. Major tornadoes went North and South of the Piney River Farm the weekend before the Aleiversary. When March 22nd dawned, the wind laid, the sun came out, the…

It Takes A Mule Team
In 2014 we celebrated the 3rd Aleiversary at Piney River Brewing Co. with a special release imperial IPA that we called "Mule Team" paying homage to our Missouri Mule IPA and the team of people that it takes to make a packaging microbrewery on a Farm in the Ozarks work.

The beer is very expensive to make due to the large amount of malt and hops, and by 2019 a lot of breweries had IPAs, imperial IPAs, hazy IPAs, you name it. There wasn't…

The Mule Jumped Over the Moon
Our BARn Mule by Lanie Frick Get comfortable because I have a not too short story about how the Mule Jumped Over the Moon. The Missouri Mule became part of the Piney River story in 2011. First, I spied a handsome mule with it's head sticking out of a barn in a painting for auction at a local charity event. Local artist, Lanie Frick, created the mule, and for me, it was love a first sight. I had to have that mule. The bidding got a little heated (it was a live auction), but that mule, my first mule, went…

Fall on the Farm 2024 Recap
We couldn't have asked for better weather for Fall on the Farm...well, maybe we could have. It was almost 90 degrees!

Shot Through the Heart, And We’re to Blame
It's a song. It's for a movie. It's the name of a beer! But not just any beer. It's a very special collabeeration with our friends at Alamo Drafthouse in Springfield and in St. Louis.
