What's the Difference: Taproom vs. Bar
Let's first define what River Hawk Brewing is before we determine what it is not . River Hawk Brewing is a microbrewery , which means that we are a small, independently owned brewery/brewhouse that crafts and produces our own beer and wine. We have a 3.5 bbl brewing system that produces 108.5 gallons (or 868, 16 oz. pints of beer) in one brew batch (generally speaking, this a tiny, microscopic quantity compared to larger, commercial breweries). In addition to our brew system, we have 12 fermenters and can serve up to 16 different types of beer on any given day. Many small craft breweries are designed similarly to ours, where the focus is quality, not quantity. Beer sampling and drinking may occur at the source of brewing. Many breweries, like ours, focus solely on beer making and do not involve a kitchen or an on-site restaurant. Therefore, breweries that share our same model and serve (at the site of brewing) alcohol only, and thereby the beer that they produce, are considered
