Rush River Brewing Company

Welcoming family environment not a big brewery guy but this wasn't bad.

10-3-24 Picked up my South Ridge Ranch Bacon tonight! ?

A pleasant atmosphere, both inside the 2-story brewery and outside under the live hop trellis. Wide selection of beers that were all excellent. 64 ounce growler fills for $10 to $15, so bring your favorite growler!

Great beer ? and great service! Their bartenders here are very friendly and we will definitely be coming back. ?

Cool spot and nice taproom. Beers were good. Watched some olympics and had a nice visit with the beer tender. She was very friendly.

Large and varied beer menu. Old school microbrew atmosphere. Will be back.

Nice local brewery outside of River Falls. Not too fancy, friendly service, and just a big space inside with a nice outdoor area as well. They had 16 beers on for my stop including: kolsch, golden ale, IPA, Pale ale, amber, lemon honey shandy, blackberry shandy, berliner, juicy IPA, Double IPA, Porter, stout, barrel aged stout, altbier, and their anniversary. The BA stout was the standout for me, very good. I imagine I will be back again when I am in the area.

Friendly regulars

Always good beer. Definitely love the dog days and taco days. I'm always a sucker for a outdoor patio to drink at.

Big fan of Rush River. Laid back atmosphere, friendly staff and all are welcome. Beer is all good and the price is right. Only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because they should have more live bands and better bands. We love the live music scene and there are a lot of good choices around the area. Other than that… I’m a huge fan and try to stop by once a week. So, if you’re in the area stop by for a beer for sure!!

Cool place. They have a lot of space inside and outside. Host quite a few events throughout the year.

I don't get out here every Sunday like I used to but even though I haven't been in in a couple few months... today beertender Carla cheerily greeted me like I was just in. We both laughed as we remembered one another but neither of recalled the other's name. Unfortunately the potential weekend with owner Nick or brewer Brett have become more rare.... but the possibility is always worth it. On one of the last Saturday encounters w brewer Brett we discussed his and hoppy beers. After he walked away.... panic set it!! When he returned I said: you realize I wasn't insulting your beers, correct?! Brett politely replied: no, it's a style you don't like. Relief!!During our discussion I asked his input while I tasted through his IPA's. Despite not being an IPA fan, which the majority here are approachable. I can't think of a beer I've ever had here I didn't like! Let's talk bottle releases... over the years the prices have remained... a very affordable $15 a bottle or two for $25! I always get two; one to drink now and the other to stash in my cellar. As a sour fan, the annual Berliner Bash in June is a not miss event!! The annual PRIDE beer release is always a great time too, this past year I chatted up the brewer about the ingredients and how much it took of everything to get the beer he wanted and why he had to separate out the edible glitter he wanted to put in the beer. The past two years the brewery has done a beer deal... a shirt, sunglasses and a beer for a great value! I appreciate that the tap list lists the beer name, ABV and price for each size pour. I always tend to sit at the bar inside but they also have several picnic tables. There is also a tv if you want to catch a game. They often have little markets inside for local shopping and often has live music at night. There is a small parking lot next to a few pergola covered picnic tables. You can usually park in the cul-de-sac. Several patrons come in off the bike trail. If I drive all this way for a beer I tend to only have a few so that I can push on to downtown to Swinging Bridge. There is a to-go cooler of bottles and crowlers near the end of the west side of the bar. Last year I wanted to get a mix six pack as a gift, beer tender Erica was fantastic wit the assist. The customers here are just as fantastic & friendly as the beertenders...as I have run in to several of the same people on my random stops in. You're about to read the quirkiest thing I have ever posted in a review... Rush River has the SOFTEST toilet tissue!! Weird?! I know but I promise you. Rush River not only has deliciously great beers on the regular; they frequently do special releases. On occasion the beertender will put out bowls of pretzels, or Cheetos, or cheez-its. Rush River is everything you could hope for in a brewery. Thanks Rush River for consistently having friendly beeertenders pour delicious beer in a comfortable tap room, cheers!

12-14-2023 Great Band tonight.

Went to play cornhole and drink various beers. Nice staff and friendly group of people. The beer selection was very good and priced well.

Beer is great and the bartenders are even better!!
