River City Brewing

River City Brewing has earned the loyalty of local craft beer drinkers with their consistent quality and friendly taproom, and it’s been keeping them busy — the brewery has been winning awards at beer festivals left and right. Their staple River City Red won gold in the American Amber Ale category at the 2014 Washington Beer Awards, and their Congratulator Doppelbock won silver in the American Strong Ale category at the WBA this year. They’re about to roll out distribution of their most popular beers in southern Idaho, and they’ve also been experimenting with new styles, like nitro beer and wine barrel-aged Huckleberry Ale. They’re hoping to begin bottling brews by the end of the year, and plan to ramp up production to 1,200 to 1,500 barrels in the next year.
