People Living in Monroe Get Great Beer from Twin Rivers Brewery

Everyone living in Monroe drinks beer from Twin Rivers Brewery.The Seattle area is known for its amazing and diverse beer culture. However, if you live in Monroe, you don’t have to go far to find a wide array of craft brews. Beer aficionados who live in Monroe should do themselves a favor and head to Twin Rivers Brewery as soon as possible. You might have been to the next door restaurant, Adam’s Bistro. When owner Adam Hoffman bought the property for his bistro, there was also a small brewery. Adam studied with the previous owner, Tim Kovach, for several months until he was ready to start experimenting on his own.

Over the next few years, he worked diligently, trying out different recipes, working out the best hops and grains to use, and getting state of the art equipment. At first, the new little brewery turned out only four barrels a month. The beer was so good that Twin Rivers rapidly upped production to 16 barrels a month. The brewery has continued to increase production and now has a half dozen brews consistently available. Twin Rivers continues to experiment, creating a dozen seasonal brews that pair perfectly with the changing menu at Adam’s Bistro.

One of the best ways to sample Twin Rivers craft brews is to order a beer flight. This includes four different beers, with a five ounce serving of each one. Pints are also available, as are growlers. Enjoy everything Twin Rivers has to offer by joining the Mug Club. The membership fee is $35 per year. Mug Club members can get 22 oz beers for the price of 16 oz beers and earn points toward free beer. Just show your membership card to your server to receive membership benefits.

Learn more about Twin Rivers Brewery and get a current list of available beers. You can also check out Adam’s Bistro while you’re there.
