Craft Beer…It's Something We Can All Agree On The Beer

Craft Beer…It's Something We Can All Agree On

We don't claim to be particularly political at Piney River.  But we do believe in speaking up about things that are important to us to our elected officials. As we've learned over the past four years, craft beer crosses all political lines, and we can all come together to share a beer. And that's how this came to be. Brian shows off the new construction project to US Representative Jason Smith (MO-8). We were very honored to host our Congressman for Missouri's 8th District at Piney River today.  Representative Jason Smith and his aides Eric Harmon and Tammy Corrigan picked…

4th Aleiversary—The Best One Yet Beer Events

4th Aleiversary—The Best One Yet

Yes, we had some anxiety about the 4th Aleiversary. Just like the 3rd Aleiversary, we planned to be overwhelmed. Portapotties? Check. Two food trucks? Check. Security? Check. Beer trailer with six taps outside? Check. ID bracelets and beer tickets? Had those to. We even had a brand spanking new deck addition--built just in time. Everyone knows that the sun always shines on the Aleiversary, so even though we began watching the weather religiously a month in advance, sunshine seemed pretty likely (insert fingers and toes crossed). On February 13th the construction on our building ground to a halt with snow,…

Some Notes About the 4th Aleiversary…All the Stuff You Might Want to Know Before Our Big Day Beer Events

Some Notes About the 4th Aleiversary…All the Stuff You Might Want to Know Before Our Big Day

The Aleiversary is free admission as our thanks to you for your great support over the past 4 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. We will serve beers at a trailer outside and inside our tap room. You will need a “beer ticket” to purchase a beer. All beers are…

Celebrating Craft Beer in the Ozarks–Piney River Style

It was in March of 2011 that Brian and I cracked open the doors to the BARn for the very first time. Somewhat to our surprise, folks showed up! We filled growlers, we poured pints, we sampled the beer that we were brewing after work, sometimes after midnight, on our Sabco Brew Magic 10-gallon system. The "system" for serving beer that first year at the BARn included a table across the middle of brew house floor and picnic tables and camp chairs located out in front of the BARn. A year later, we had a bar built in the upstairs…

Some Thoughts About Stepping Out There Start up

Some Thoughts About Stepping Out There

If you've been to the BARn, you've seen a little saying we have tacked up on the wall behind the bar--"A Doer. Not a Dreamer." with the words attributed to Tom Asacker. Brian and I have been reading Tom's blog www.acleareye.com since before we dug a new well to build a brewery in rural Missouri in July of 2010. He frequently has great things to say to those in leadership positions, to entrepreneurs and to anyone who's interested in doing something that may seem a little crazy to everyone around them. Every week Brian and I are approached by people…
