The distillery was built in the post Second World War boom for Scotch Whisky and was built entirely to contribute to the large blends of the parent company, Seagram’s. Even today, its malt whisky is almost never bottled un-blended as a single malt.
It is up to the rare single cask offerings to show what this distillery can do.

RAW MILK Emmentaler

In stock at Forsyth only, much harder to find raw milk version.  

Aged over 120 days

Emmentaler AOC Raw Milk Cheese...$19.99 / lb
"The raw milk used to make cheese such as Emmentaler AOC other cheese specialities is processed into cheese without undergoing heat treatment. As a result, the enzymes and bacteria inherently present in milk are still active in their natural environment. This becomes evident as the cheese matures because they produce aromas that do not exist in pasteurised cheese. Raw milk cheeses therefore become stronger with age.

When making cheese from pasteurised milk, the milk is heated to approx. 75°C and then cooled down again prior to cheesemaking. This inactivates the enzymes and bacteria inherently present in milk. Special aroma-forming substances (bacteria) are used to make the cheese mature. Cheese made from pasteurised milk is usually consumed when it is younger. It is also often milder tasting than raw milk cheese. Well-known varieties include Green Tilsiter, Mozzarella and most soft cheese." - Cheese of Switzerland

100 Proof

BIG FLAVOR. SMALL BATCH.

This 100 proof expression is the second release in our Old Forester Whiskey Row Series was specially crafted to honor the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. After the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897 to be labeled as Bottled in Bond, whisky must be the product of one distillation season, one distiller and from one distillery. The concept behind the Act – the idea of “sealed-in quality” – was something that Old Forester – America’s First Bottled Bourbon – introduced in 1870.

Double IPA brewed exclusively with New Zealand hops.

Some rare "Yellow Wine" of Jura

2006 Domaine Montbourgeau Vin Jaune...$79.99
The 2006 L'Etoile Vin Jaune feels riper with some aromas of caramel and more ripeness than 2007, but it’s not a vintage like 2005; it’s a lighter year, not as long lived as 2005, and without the freshness as the 2007. It suffers in the comparison with both, but as a standalone it's still a terrific Vin Jaune. 2,500 bottles produced
Rated 94/100 The Wine Advocate


2007 Domaine Montbourgeau L'Etoile Vin Jaune...$79.99
2007 looks like a fantastic vintage for yellow wines in the Jura, and the one from Montbourgeau is nothing short of spectacular, epitomizing what the zone and the winery are for me -- true elegant expression of the soils and sceneries of Jura in a subtle, fresh and tasty way, more vibrant and reminiscent of the limestone soils. The 2007 L'Etoile Vin Jaune has notes of celery, the morels are more subtle, and while you still don’t find the curry here, it will develop with time in bottle. This wine is still a baby and it should develop tremendously in bottle, especially in complexity, but it’s also accessible now and even better if you decant it the previous day. But I'd recommend keeping the bottle for a few years, as it will get much better

Krampus is back!!!

Southern Tier Krampus Imperial Helles Lager...$6.49 / 22oz

Are you naughty or nice?
"St. Nicholas, aka Santa Claus, is a magical figure, the bringer of gifts and an icon of holiday spirit. Forgotten by most is his evil side kick and enforcer of ‘the list’. European tradition says while St. Nick is busy delivering presents to good little boys and girls, Krampus hands out punishments to the bad. A fanged, goat-horned bully, the Christmas Devil uses sticks and chains to beat the naughty children. Dark malts and aromatic hops create the diabolical spirit of this brew. It is finished with lager yeast and aged cold for no less than 30 days. This Imperial Helles Lager will warm even the darkest hearts. This season, replace the cookies with a bottle of Krampus. If he happens to pay a visit, toast to him with this devilish brew. Merry Kramp-mas to all, and to all a good pint!" -- Southern Tier

the ancients called it 'food for the gods'

The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, we’re not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples.

Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been realized in our brewing house, encompassing the complexity of the darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original frothy cold beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series Choklat Stout. We have combined the finest ingredients to tempt your senses & renew the power & interrelation of history in every bottle.

Piney River Brewing - new from Missouri!!

Piney River Ale Missouri Mule IPA...$8.99 (4pk 16oz)
Missouri mules hauled hundreds of wagons across the West and packed supplies in World Wars I & II. For decades, mules were also the most reliable Ozark farm hands. Like a Missouri mule, you can rely on our handcrafted India Pale Ale. This IPA packs a hop explosion that will not let you down.

Piney River Brewing Sweet Potato Ale...$8.99 (4pk 16oz)
The sweet potato has long been a staple of American gardens and pantries. After harvest the sweet potato provides diverse culinary options. On the Piney River, we use roasted sweet potatoes in our handcrafted Sweet Potato Ale, inspired by our favorite sweet potato comfort food—the sweet potato pie.

Piney River Brewing Old Tom Porter...$8.99 (4pk 16oz)
Dense black beard, brilliant plumage, reverberating gobble--Old Tom is notorious for haunting the Ozark hills. He's a prize gobbler with the wisdom to stay just out of reach. Our handcrafted porter is also memorable, but it's one Old Tom that won't get away.

Piney River Brewing Black Walnut Wheat...$8.99 (4pk 16oz)
Buckets, burlap bags and pickup truck beds are filled with black walnuts each fall in the Ozarks.

Our hand-crafted blonde ale is the perfect accompaniment to your day on the river or to simply bring back float trip memories.





Why We Can

As a new brewery with the plans to package our beer for distribution, we were faced immediately with a decision of bottling or canning our beer. We were most familiar with bottled craft beer; but thanks to some innovative breweries in the US, craft beer in cans was not a completely foreign idea.
Since we also care a lot about our great outdoors, we are conscientious that an aluminum can is easily recyclable. Over 50% of aluminum cans are recycled after they are emptied. Aluminum cans are made from recycled metal, and they weigh much less, too, further reducing the environmental impact of the can because they take less energy to ship.
One of the things we love about the Ozarks are the many outdoor activities—fishing, canoeing, floating, hiking, biking, trail riding, camping, and the list goes on! The thought of crafting a beer that could be enjoyed in any of the aforementioned settings was one we could not ignore. We knew that we wanted to put our craft beer in cans; as each of our beer cans says, “Pack it in. Pack it out. Enjoy nature.”   Piney pints are like a mini-keg—they are going to provide the closest possible taste of draft beer to you when you are drinking it. Here are some things to keep in mind:
An aluminum can provides 100% protection from harmful UV rays of the sun which breaks down the quality of beer.
Very little oxygen is allowed in the beer during the canning process, and the sealed lid prevents any oxygen from penetrating the beer inside the can.
Today’s aluminum cans have a protective layer between the can and the beer, preventing any off flavors in your canned beer.
For ultimate flavor, aroma and enjoyment, pour one of our perfectly preserved pints into a glass.
Piney River Beer is canned in 16-ounce pint cans. When you crack open one of our cans to pour into a glass, you will truly have a pint, or, as we like to say a “Piney pint”. With craft beer in a can you no longer have to sacrifice great taste for convenience. At Piney River Brewing we want you to have the time of your life when you’re enjoying our Ozarks!
