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.

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. Craft beer changes led us to stop making Mule Team after the 8th Aleiversary in 2019. 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…

Fest with Beers in October

The leaves are changing. There's a cool nip in the air every morning. The antlered deer and brown trout are showing off. The Oktoberfest lagers and pumpkin spiced beers are on the shelves, too. This is the time of year when we would usually regale you with a Saturday afternoon of music, food, and beer with Fall on the Farm. Due to concerns with community spread of Covid-19 in large gatherings, we continue to keep the BARn open but keeping the music simple and the food limited to pizza.

Love at Your Local Brewery

If you've been to the BARn, you know that we're pretty laid back. We're not the kind of place where you need a reservation. When presented with Valentine's Day falling on a day that we are open, we knew we had to brew up some love in our laid back, BARn way. Friday night--Valentine's Day--and all weekend long, we're doing something that we hope you will love--A Valentine's Day Special. In true Piney River style, our special includes beers of your choice paired with a single-topping pizza followed up by a homemade, stout brownie (warm, studded with dark chocolate) topped…
