Rivertowne Brewing

What Rivertowne Brewing does

Rivertowne Brewing is a privately held craft brewery founded in 2007 and headquartered at 5578 Old William Penn Highway in Export, Pennsylvania. The company produces a portfolio of year-round and seasonal craft beers — including Hala Kahiki Pineapple Ale (4.8% ABV), Hazy Morning Hazy IPA, Stiller Gang, and rotating seasonals such as Suburban Housewife Blackberry & Cucumber Kolsch, Classic Kickback Lemon Lager, Poolside Peaches Peach Lager, Headless Wylie Pumpkin Ale, and Rudolph's Red Spiced Ale — packaged in 12oz cans, 12-packs, and 1/6 and 1/2 keg formats. Distribution is exclusively within Pennsylvania and routed through five regional wholesale distributors (Allegheny Beverage Co., Galli Beer Distributing Co., Mid-State Beverage Co., Nittany Beverage Beer Distributor, and Stockertown Beverage) that together cover every county in the state.

The business serves two primary customer segments: on-premise restaurants and bars purchasing draft kegs for commercial dispense, and craft beer enthusiasts purchasing at taprooms (including third-party placements at Helltown Brewing locations such as 1700 Penn Ave) or directly ordering kegs for home tap systems. Revenue is generated from wholesale beer sales through the distributor network, direct keg sales to consumers, and a forthcoming direct-to-consumer merchandise store. The company employs 11-50 people, is privately held with no parent company or disclosed institutional ownership, and markets primarily through Instagram and an email newsletter under the brand positioning "uniquely crafted, precariously tasteful." No revenue, funding, or headcount growth data is publicly disclosed.
