Rockford Brewing Company (RBC) will mark its 3rd anniversary on December 20th.

Thanksgiving Eve is a special night for Rockford Brewing Company (RBC).  It was 3 years ago when the brewery first released their handcrafted beers in downtown Rockford during the brewery’s inaugural “Pub Crawl”.  Rockford's new local beer poured into mugs throughout downtown that night, it was a hit to say the least.

Every spring bicyclists gather at Rockford Brewing Co. and embark on the almost 15 mile group ride to Brewery Vivant, and each fall gather at Brewery Vivant for the approximate one hour return trip. The first go-round has become known as “Fly to the Coq” with each year’s return trip known as “Coq to the Fly”. The breweries have also made a tradition of collaborating on a special beer for each event with a version of the brew tapped before and after the ride at each respective location. For this year’s Coq to the Fly, the collaborative beer was a Dark Ale called “On Your Left” brewed with naked oats and dark malts.

As the summer nears the end, Handsome Henry’s took the opportunity to do a special pizza and beer pairing event on their outdoor patio with music, schwag, and great brews from Rockford Brewing Co. The evening featured 6 different varieties of pizzas available with 6 different Rockford beers. The pizza was available at $10 for a flight including one slice of each with a pairing menu showcasing each of the Rockford Beers available in both 8 ounce and 16 ounce pours.

For the third year, bicyclists gathered early at Rockford Brewing Co. for this year’s 14.7 mile Fly to the Coq group bike ride. The ride starts on the White Pine trail outside the brewery eventually making it’s way through the streets of Eastown to Brewery Vivant. Prior to the event, a celebratory tapping of the Fly2Coq Rockford edition collaborative brew occurred at 11 a.m. with bikers departing Rockford at 1 p.m. on Sunday, June 7th.

This month we're offering 2 beer and Girl Scout cookie paring events. The first pairing will be held on Thursday, June 18th  at REO Town Pub and will be featuring beers from Rockford Brewing Company  with Trefoils, Do Se Does, Samoas,Tagalongs, and Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies.

 

 

We are excited to announce that we will be gathering all our Howling Beer Hound friends at different locations throughout the state.

April 7th is National Beer Day in honor of the day back in 1933 that the brewing and sale of beer first became legal again in the United States following the prohibition which began in 1920. April 7th also turned out to be a very fitting day for Rockford Brewing Company to make their first ever bottled releases after 2 years of draft only releases. Rockford Brewing also chose a very fitting beer for their bottled releases, both the 2013 & 2014 editions of their popular Anniversary Ale AKA the Belgian Multigrain which has only been brewed three times so far by the brewery and being one of original recipes released as part of Rockford’s 2012 pre-opening downtown pub crawl.
