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…

Raise A Ruckus Release at the BARn

We’re gonna Raise A Ruckus this weekend ya’ll! The fun begins this Friday at the BARn. We will have 2018 Raise A Ruckus in its traditional form—aged on vanilla and coffee beans (Brick & Mortar Coffee's Piney River blend, thank you very much). We will also have the first barrel-aged Raise A Ruckus, also aged on vanilla and coffee beans, but also aged for almost a year in bourbon and whiskey barrels—mostly J. Rieger & Co. barrels from our friends in KC. Packaged this week, both of these beers are simply delicious. We’ve shared sips of barrels and even some samples…

Going to Kansas City, Kansas City Here Piney River Comes

Amazing things can happen in Kansas City. On May 17, 1997 Brian and I traveled to KC for our first Kansas City Royals baseball game.  We were celebrating our first anniversary with a few days in KC. The Royals were playing the Tigers.  The Royals weren't as well regarded in baseball at the time.  Since we avidly followed the St. Louis Cardinals and the National League, we really didn't know much about the Royals or the Tigers, but we were at a baseball game together. And we loved baseball.  Kaufman Stadium was really beautiful, too, with the fountains in the outfield. We had…

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…
