Summer Stout Tap Takeover at River North Brewery: Denver's Celebration of Dark Beer
At most breweries, stout season comes and goes with the weather. The temperatures rise, the patio fills up, and the focus shifts entirely to lighter styles built for summer drinking. While we love a crisp lager or easy drinking ale as much as anyone, we've never believed the changing seasons mean dark beer should disappear from the tap list. That's why we're excited to introduce the first ever Summer Stout Tap Takeover at River North Brewery on Saturday, June 20. Inspired by our annual Super...

Stick With Us, Friends: A Letter From the Founder of River North Brewery
I’ve always thought of River North as a “beer first” brewery. That mentality paid off in 2025 in a big way. We started 2025 with an epic Mid-Sized Brewery of the Year win at the inaugural Colorado Brewers Cup. It’s still a bit surreal to be honest with you. But we didn’t stop there. We steamrolled through the year with accolades at the World Beer Cup, Australia International Beer Awards, US Open Beer Championship, National Honey Beer Competition (yes, that’s a thing!), Japan International...
