Established 2004. Great River Brewery is located right off the banks of the
Mississippi River. We have been serving fresh beer to the masses since 2009.
We are primarily a production brewhouse with a small tasting room and patio
that overlooks the Mississippi River. We offer 5 year-around ales, barrel-aged
beers (aged for 7 months in oak whiskey barrels) and 11 seasonal offerings.
Our beer is produced in both draft, and 16 oz cans. Check our website for
seasonal offerings and special tapping dates.
483 Pale Ale: 5.4 ABV, 48 IBU. American style pale ale brewed with pale, and a touch
of crystal to give it that copper hue. Then we aggressively hop it for a big citrus hop
aroma and taste. Named for the mile marked where our brewery is located on the
Mississippi River.
Roller Dam Red Ale: 5.3 ABV, 30 IBU. Irish style red ale brewed with English pale
and two crystal malts to give this dam ale a ruby red color and rich caramel flavor.
Nicely balanced with a spicy hop finish. Named for Mississippi River Lock and Dam
No. 15, which is the largest roller dam in the world, as well as a great view from our
Brew House
Red Band Stout: 6.0 ABV, 36 IBU. We liked our local roasters New Orleans Iced coffee
so much we decided to use their beans in our brew. We cold press Indonesian and
Ethiopian beans using our 18-hour cold brew extraction method, into our milk stout.
It is the perfect marriage of two of our favorite beverages, premium cold pressed
coffee meets dark rich chocolate milk stout
Farmer Brown Ale: 7.0 ABV, 22 IBU. An American style brown ale which is robust,
rich and nutty. This ale is dominated by malt flavor. Dark brown in color, off white
head. This nut brown ale is mildly hopped to allow dark crystal, chocolate, and biscuit
malt to dominate the flavor of this malt brew.
