Riverside Brewing Company isn’t just a brewery—it’s an experience rooted in tradition, craftsmanship and a deep connection to the land. Housed in a rustic 1800s Cochranton barn, the structure was carefully deconstructed, moved and rebuilt on the historic grounds of the former Riverside Inn. Today, it stands as a tribute to heritage and community, drawing rave reviews from locals & visitors. At their heart is a true farm-to-table philosophy. The menu – thoughtfully crafted by their culinary team – highlights the freshest local & regional ingredients. They proudly feature products from their own Howles Maple Farm, including their signature maple syrup, as well as pasture-raised beef and house-made infusions. Every dish and drink reflects the bounty of Western Pennsylvania and the passion behind their process.
Guests are welcomed by a spacious bar pouring from 21 taps featuring house-brewed beer, local wine, cider & small-batch spirits. The inviting dining areas offer plenty of seating, while the outdoor stage, beer garden & silo bar create a vibrant atmosphere for live music and relaxing with friends. A scenic patio overlooks French Creek, offering the perfect backdrop for any visit.
From your first step onto the grounds to your last sip, you’ll feel the care, intention & history behind every detail. Riverside Brewing Company is where heritage meets harvest—come see what everyone’s talking about.
