I drove from Charlotte to check out River Club and the adorable town of Madison. I have visited many breweries and was very impressed by the quality of beers coming from the tanks of such a young operation. The IPA and amber lager were fantastic! The building is beautiful… built in 1905 and full of character – love the exposed brick. The holiday decor was a great touch. Charlie was working the taproom and is a great, genuine guy. I also met one of the owners there who is working hard to make the space a welcoming place for everyone. I saw the strong support from locals on a Sunday afternoon and I can tell this place will help carry on the continuing growth in Madison. I look forward to making another visit soon!
