📣 Important Update from River Run
Over the past several months, we’ve been incredibly fortunate to see River Run thrive beyond our expectations! From hosting unforgettable events like Punkin Chunkin, countless weddings, and special celebrations, to running a bustling restaurant, this journey has been amazing. 🌟
But with growth comes growing pains. Recently, the DEP visited us and informed us that until we upgrade our well system to handle higher volumes, we need to temporarily pause our regular kitchen operations. While this news is a bump in the road, we’re keeping our spirits high and looking forward to what’s next!
👉 Here’s what’s still happening at River Run:
- Weddings, private events, and pop-ups (including our River Run Yule Market) will move forward without interruption.
- Bar operations are not affected—you can still enjoy your favorite drinks at River Run! 🍹🍺
- We’re exploring exciting ideas like food trucks and a special mini menu to keep the good vibes (and delicious eats) going!
We’re truly grateful for your support and patience as we work through this upgrade and continue to grow. The best is yet to come, and we can’t wait to share it with you. 💛
Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for being part of our River Run family!
This weekend, we’re thrilled to introduce a NEW menu favorite to our specials: Freshly Handmade Crab Cakes! 🦀 Crafted with premium crab meat, these flavorful bites are served with creamy Old Bay mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables—pure perfection on a plate.

This timeless delight, the classic American Vanilla Cake, is moist and light, with just enough sweet butter cream frosting, served with some strawberries, blueberries, and a touch of chocolate sauce.
Good ole moonshine music feels like a good fit for today!!
WEATHER UPDATE! Due to the rain, we've decided to push the Cinco de Mayo event start time back to 10AM. We will also be moving the FLEA INSIDE!
So often we are asked about the property, the barn and how it all became a brewery. We want to share all of that with our customers and followers, so yesterday we created albums which show the development of the hop fields and the transformation of the barn into the brewery. Today, we want to share with you the story of how the hop fields led to a partnership that led to the brewery that you all support!
Denny and Wendy Browne purchased the property we know as River Bend Hop Farm and Brewery in 2015 as a place to get away with their family, grow a garden and plant a hop field. They decided to immediately begin building the hop field that now greets you at the entrance to River Bend. They gathered up every friend that was willing to take on this task. Quite a few people came out to help, but only one man, Tom Beers, showed up on the second day, helped with the entire project and, seemingly, never left.
As the year went on, Denny and his wife Wendy along with Tom and his wife, Melissa, spent more and more time together on the farm working and enjoying the property with their families. Denny and Tom started experimenting with beer making. They felt they were making some good brews so they invited friends and family up to the farm for a party and to try their concoctions. While those first attempts at beer making may not have been super successful (according to their friends and family) it ignited a fire in both to keep trying. The men researched and trialed beer-making techniques and recipes in an effort to perfect their beer.
At some point, Denny and Tom along with their wives, Wendy and Melissa, started discussing the possibility of renovating the barn on the land and transforming it into a brewery. I believe there has been some mention that there was a little too much drinking involved that night. Whether that is the case or not, once the decision was made to open a brewery, the two couples moved forward and never turned back. The renovation of the barn began in the summer/fall of 2016. You can see by the photos that were posted yesterday that it was quite the undertaking. Undoubtedly this was a labor of love that produced a lot of blood, sweat and tears. The couples hired a ‘real’ brewer who was able to take some of the ‘flagship’ beers Denny and Tom created and made them even better. A couple of these would be the Browne Ale and Hefeweizen that you’ll find are staples on our tap menu.
The Browne and Beers family officially opened their doors on September 22, 2017 and have been extremely grateful for the support of the Newport and surrounding communities. Without your love and acceptance, their brewery dream of ‘if you build it, they will come’ would not have been as successful as it has been. Thank you all for a wonderful first year. We look forward to celebrating our 1st Birthday with you on September 22 and the many River Bend Birthdays to come in the future!
