Out & About: Rush River Brewing Co

Rush River Brewery: Great Beer, Great People

I’ve been coming to Rush River Brewery in River Falls for years, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that this place is dangerously good at keeping you coming back. Every week, I meet up here with a group of guys, and somehow, none of us have gotten sick of each other yet—probably because we’re too busy enjoying the beer.

Speaking of beer, Rush River absolutely nails it. They’ve got a killer selection, from smooth and easy-drinking ales to bold, hop-packed IPAs that’ll make you rethink your life choices (in the best way). The Unforgiven Amber Ale? Like a warm hug from an old friend. The Double Bubble IPA? It hits like a freight train of citrusy goodness. And let’s not forget their seasonal releases—because nothing says “I’ll just have one” like realizing you’re on your third pint of something you can only get for a limited time.

But it’s not just about the beer (though, let’s be honest, that’s a big part of it). The taproom has that perfect blend of laid-back charm and friendly faces, where you can strike up a conversation with just about anyone—whether it’s a fellow beer lover, a friendly bartender (Val!), or some guy passionately explaining why his fantasy football team is falling apart. The vibe here is always welcoming, and the outdoor seating area is the perfect place to enjoy a pint when Wisconsin decides to bless us with decent weather.

If you haven’t been to Rush River yet, stop depriving yourself of happiness. Come grab a flight, soak in the good vibes, and enjoy some of the best beer around. Just don’t challenge me to darts.
