About Rivers and Rails Brewing Co

Rivers and Rails Brewing Co is a brewery on Second Street East in downtown Thief River Falls. It sits on the Red Lake River and opened in 2022. Two couples started it, with a home-brewer's recipes at the center.

A 10 tap tower pours the house beers. You can fill a growler to take home, and a canning line puts the beer in cans too.

The room is built for families. Kids are welcome until 8 PM, and dogs can stay in the outdoor spaces. There is a game cabinet, plus sodas and lemonades, and a deck with views of the river.

Pizza and snacks are served at the brewery. Food trucks set up outside, and you can carry their food in to your table. Birthday parties, baby showers and weddings can all book the space.
