The True Tale About Old Tom Porter’s 2nd GABF Win

There we were...livestreaming the Great American Beer Festival feed from Denver. It was Saturday, October 12th, a date that we had set for our annual Fall on the Farm long before the Brewer's Association offered a free booth space to GABF brewery attendees. In previous years we have attended GABF as a way to support the BA, the national trade association for America's craft brewers. Then came Covid which shut GABF down. Then it was Andy's senior year of high school with activities we didn't want to miss every weekend. In 2023 we were moving Andy to Stanford, and we…

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!

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. We GREATLY appreciate all of your support over the past few…

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…

Getting Ready for GABF 2014 Beer Events

Getting Ready for GABF 2014

Our first Piney River toast with our Gold medal winning Old Tom Porter.You may have heard that at the Great American Beer Festival in 2013, Piney River took home a gold medal. Yep, we're still kind of in shock about that win. But after our Gold Award experience at the World Beer Cup in April, it's safe to say that we are really excited about entering in the 2014 GABF Competition. The chances are much greater that we will come away empty handed than with any awards, but our level of excitement for the competition is much higher in 2014…

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…
