Great beers! Favorite pickle beer!

Clean nice new feeling brewery. Great view of the river a a giant deck for outside. Beer options were okay, they have something for everyone but -1 star unfortunately because ALL the beers were severely under carbonated. Hopefully the brewer can work that out. Nice staff. Ooo and pull tabs on site! Would go again though.

Great riverside patio and fun interior. Friendly staff. I didn't love the beer, but that's more of a personal preference. Hard to beat their deck/patio on a nice day.

Rivers and Rails is a great place to spend an afternoon with family! Their selection of board games is great and hanging out on the back patio when the sun is shining is something to look forward to after a long winter. The view is amazing and they always create an inviting atmosphere for all patrons.

This place is fantastic. The food and drinks are great and the staff is friendly. Also it’s awesome that they host live music. Definitely recommend!

Great beer. Fun place. The patio is right on the river with a beautiful view.

Enjoyed the beer and community. Objectively, the beer was better than I expected. Any brewpub can provide a couple of overly hopped IPA’s. Brewing something more nuanced is challenging. I was a home brewer for close to a decade in the early 1980’s, and brewed a range of beers. The citra-hopped, piney Cascade brews are just so boring. If you’ve had one, you’ve had them all.Rivers and Rails offers some very creative beers. Golden Emberz Golden Ale is a great example. Made with 95% locally sourced ingredients. “Hallertau tradition” hops. Very cool. Then there’s the Night Owl Pilsner, made with a Pilsner Malt and my favorite Saaz hops - ingredients you don’t find in every local brewery.Plus, the people are friendly and the sense of community obvious. It’s family-friendly, with offerings beyond beer.Check it out!

What a day, a misplay on our driving plans turned us “hangry”. The google map chick stuck it to us. We told her we weren’t mad, just disappointed. She didn’t care. Lol.No matter, Rivers and Rails was our stop. Just later than planned.Nice curb appeal as we parked. Old buildings recycled into breweries is wonderful.In we went, a nice greeting, thank you for that. Inside is a great space, but then we saw it. The back deck, riverside, view of the river!! Brewery with a view of the river, cmon. Heck that’s worth a stop, but better with a beer. Right?Beer, we went golden ale and night owl Pilsner. There were great choices, they just introd a Flanders red ale, a pretty cool brew. With hours to drive, had to limit the quaff.Both were very good drinks.They normally do food trucks, but a local event prevented that today. No issue pizza.Being hangry, I went cheese pizza and cheese bites. Yeah, over ordered, lol, one would have sufficed. But we managed. They were good, no issues.I’ve got to add, we make stops around breweries, yup. They are important to communities. Look at this, rehabbed an old building, using a great view. People are chilling with a beer, it’s perfect.IVE GOT TO ADD!! We left a personal item behind, wife’s favorite jacket. I reached out on line, they had it, and it went into the mail. It was in our mailbox long before we got home!!! So nice!! Great people, stop in, enjoy the atmosphere, the beer, tasty pizza, and nice people.

Had a flight and a pint, was not disappointed in any of the offerings. Amazing ambiance and super friendly owners. I wish it wasn't so far from home, but I'll definitely be stopping back when I'm in the area!

Love going to this place!!!! First of all, it’s family friendly and their staff is always great. They’ve got it all, lots of games for the entire family to enjoy and socialize together or with friends. Open mic is always fun and enjoyable with comedians or live music and their outside patio is amazing! Grab one of the pizzas they offer (papa murphys) and one of their brewed beers or a flight and that’s even better.Summer time or anytime with good weather, the patio is exactly where you want to spend your evenings at or anytime of day really!!Also, they always allow for different food trucks to come and park out front and showcase their food so that’s always a good option.
