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…

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…

What’s Your Current Situation? Uncategorized

What’s Your Current Situation?

  Last fall, Brian, Andy and I were floating down the upper Current River enjoying tunes, beers and root beers, and talking about Piney River Brewing.  As you know, our beers our inspired by nature.   Brian and I already had in mind that we wanted to introduce a new IPA in 2018.  Missouri Mule, our year-round IPA is great, and Mule Team, our imperial IPA that we release every March for our anniversary, is awesome, but we wanted to try our hand again with an IPA. So, we were thinking about that.   Then, while sitting in our kayak…

Keeping Craft Cans Sustainable The Beer

Keeping Craft Cans Sustainable

When Piney River was the first microbrewery in the state of Missouri to can beer at our brewery November 2011, it was a very hands-on process in a very tight space.  Putting craft beer in a can was still a fairly new phenomenon, but we knew it was the best way to enjoy beer in nature, which is what we are all about.  From the beginning we hand-applied the black four-pack tops to our cans because that was the only way we could put cans together.  We didn’t have the space for another machine! The photo doesn't do it justice,…

Missouri Mule Kicked the Green Can Down the Road The Beer

Missouri Mule Kicked the Green Can Down the Road

We recently poured beer at West Plains Beerfest, and we had a few people come up to our tub of craft can goodness, and say, "I like the one in the green can." Actually, people have been saying that they like the one in the green can since November 2011 when Missouri Mule IPA was the second beer we ever canned on the Piney River Farm.  We are still proud to the be first craft brewery in Missouri to put an IPA in a can because we love hops! The green Missouri Mule IPA can was kicked down the road…

Charity on Tap

If you've been to the BARn, you know that Piney River loves to support local charity.  Every month, we have a local charity that we support with a portion of our sample tray sales.  We've been able to help some great charities--The Missouri Smallmouth Alliance, the Texas County Food Pantry, Women in Need in the Ozarks, TCMH Hospice of Care, the Houston Education Foundation, just to name a few.  The Charity of the Month at the BARn is chosen by Brian, Andy and I to support a cause that is important to us.  We try to stick with charities that…
