Riverside Brewing Company in Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania

Riverside Brewing Company in Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania





We had the opportunity to preview the newest edition to North Western PA's thriving craft brewing scene. To put it mildly, we were awestruck with the brand new facility; Riverside Brewing Company in Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania. From the gorgeous bar and dining room to the soon to be completed outdoor patio bar, every detail is crafted with old-school precision.



My fellow Beer Tourists are going to love this place, as it is a destination which screams for exploration. Naturally, a re-purposed old barn (moved to this location) is pure eye candy. Yet, it is the grounds of the former Riverside Inn with the remnants of botanical gardens, lawns, and paths leading you down to the French Creek, which is soaked with history and haunted with decades of romance.










The selection of in-house craft beer is impressive. Stouts, IPAs, Sours, Ales, etc make a flight a necessity. All good, all cold. Yum! We were fortunate enough to take an early tour of the fermenting facility and trust me, these guys are not messing around. The craft brewer's dream, it just amazes me that home brewer, Jason, could visualize and design such a brilliantly well-organized beer making machine. It was here in the depths of the brewery that we got to taste the newest offering. Not to be a spoiler; it's a classic and delicious! Well done, Alex the Brew Master.

Finally, the cherry on my brewing sundae was the Black Bean Burger. I guess you can say I have a mild obsession with creating my own recipes and trying the Bean burgers of any restaurant which dares to offer. It was sooo good, I am going to borrow some of their ideas for my own recipe.
