What Guests Are Saying
Beer was 10/10. I got a flight and all four were amazing. I tried the sour, the pilsner, the lager, the cider, and the porter. I was really impressed with their dark beer. Normally dark beer tastes metallic to me but theirs tasted smooth. I highly recommend their beer. Their pizza was a miss. It was over $30 and burnt on the outside, cheese wasn’t melted all the way and some of the crust was still doughy even though it was black. The flavor was ok but after reading the reviews about the pizza I was disappointed. Maybe ours was an outlier because the other reviews seemed great but ours did not hit the spot.
We went there as a group of three and ordered a beer flight (Ol' Johny, Ridges, Sombreno and Ridges). Beers were excellent, with a variety of flavours. I ordered Dankzilla after that; it was a mind-blowing flavour bomb. I liked it somehow. The bar's small but cosy; you will smell the brewery once you've entered the bar. The service was great; Ethan was our taproom man that day. He recommended to us how to taste the beer from lower % alcohol. He was a great guy. We're definitely coming back.
We have hosted multiple events at Rouge River Brewing Company and the team there is so accommodating and always ensures we have a great time. Although the inside of the location is no longer dog-friendly the patio still is and we definitely see our community members and team members enjoying a cold beer on summer days! This venue has multiple events through the week that you can checkout: line dancing, karaoke, performances, as well as networking mixers (to name a few) so there's something for everyone to enjoy. The owners are also so connected with the community and support hundreds of local businesses. This is one of those places you can feel good about going - the atmosphere is fun, it's inclusive, and every dollar you spend there you know the owners are doing good things with it. Really support and will not gate keep this local must-visit brewery. 💜
