Riverlands Brewing Company Brewery • $$
1860 Dean St Unit A, St. Charles - 4.92 miles

“What a great place. Ok so their beers are very unique. My wife and I both really enjoy this spot. Their menu is very extensive. See image. Also their hazy IPAs are amazing. Worth trying. They also change their beers quite often but they consistently have a great taste. So recommending a specific beer isn't really helpful but a style of beer I definitely recommend trying their IPAs and Hazy IPAs.

Update on 9/20/2025: still amazing“

“Food is delicious. The atmosphere is welcoming and chill. The staff is wonderfully friendly and accommodating. We were there with my 7 and 10 year old for dinner. My son has special needs and they were so great with him. At the end of the dinner when they could see I was struggling a bit with my son, one server came to me and said, “don’t worry mama, we got you.” So kind. Thank you Stockholms for being an amazing place. Highly recommend. Highly highly recommend.“
