Prepared to be Overwhelmed–Our 3rd Aleiversary Tale Beer Events

Prepared to be Overwhelmed–Our 3rd Aleiversary Tale

"If you would have told me a year ago that I would be standing here tonight making potato salad for ‘my staff’ for the Aleiversary After Party, I would have laughed.” That’s what I told Brian on Friday night about 9 p.m. Install a bar in the upstairs tap room before the 1st Aleiversary? We did that in March 2012. Put together tables and chairs for 100 before the 2nd Aleiversary? We did that in March of 2013. Every year we’ve been building something until hours before our big event. This year, we had professional help from Tim Prater at…

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…

The All True Story of Piney River’s First Trip to the GABF The Beer

The All True Story of Piney River’s First Trip to the GABF

There’s a really good chance you know how this story ends. But beyond the official photo and press release, you really need to know the whole story. Brian and I decided that we were going to attend the GABF (Great American Beer Festival) this year. We wanted the opportunity to enter our beer in a national competition—mostly to see what kind of feedback we would receive. We have two brewers that are new to brewing and to the industry—Lucas joined our team in January and Amber joined our team in April. We wanted them to get their first taste of…

Bucyrus, Missouri–A Craft Beer Town The BARn

Bucyrus, Missouri–A Craft Beer Town

Bucyrus.  Pronounced "Bue-sigh-russ".  I know.  It doesn't look like that. Bucyrus is little more than a postal code.  In fact, Bucyrus is one of the rural post office towns that's on the post office chopping block.  But we'll get to keep our name. A whole bunch of good people live in Bucyrus.  I imagine that every single resident of Bucyrus has had the distinct pleasure of giving someone we don't know our zip code for a town look up only to receive complete silence while they try to figure out how to pronounce the town that just popped up. At…
