River North Brewery

Located in a portion of the old building once occupied by Flying Dog Brewing, which left Denver for Maryland in 2008, River North focuses on small batches of Belgian-style beers. Owner Matthew Hess is also experimenting with barrel-aging. The high-ceilinged brewhouse is visible from the elegant taproom through large glass windows; the corner spot also has windows looking at the neighborhood scenery, which often includes a local food truck.
