River North Brewery was founded in 2012 in Denver's premier beer destination neighborhood, RiNo, by Matt Hess, former mechanical engineer and avid homebrewer. We focus on imperial stouts, IPAs, crisp lagers, barleywines, and numerous barrel aged beers.
​
The brewery has two locations in Denver: its production facility and industrial taproom at 6021 Washington Street and a pilot brewery and taproom at 3400 Blake Street. River North Brewery's international award-winning beers, garnering accolades from Japan to Belgium, can also be found on store shelves and on draft at fine drinking establishments throughout Colorado.
