Part 1 walks through our thoughts behind the recipe and the others are check-ins throughout the brew day. Come join us on March 1st in Lakeville at Red Hand to taste this one with us! Cheers!
Inspired by an offhand comment from one of our favorite fans, Bernie Hinckley, three Philosophers gather in a cave to discuss our ever changing attitudes towards a brewery's appeal. Thanks Bernie!

We sat riverside in a toasty igloo and chatted about the changes in the craft-centric restaurant scene, get insight into the Distributor/Restaurant dance and sample some fine brews from Riverhouse's always top-notch list, including RaR from Maryland, which is now entry #65 on Wonson's Top 5 List. Congrats RaR! Cheers. www.riverhouseweirvillage.com
