Relaxed atmosphere. Small self guided tour set in an old brick building. I had passed this place tons of times but never bothered going in because I was never too thrilled with their beer. I’m glad I wandered in though, my friends and I got a few free samplers and the brewmaster was really cool to hang and talk to. I really enjoyed the big vanilla body of the Tripel Horse. Definitely going back, not a bad place to take a cheap date.

Great place! Just a self-guided tour, but you come here for the tasting anyway. This is my favorite Jersey brewer so far, and they are very friendly to top it off. There may not be very much to taste, but they’ll open bottles of other stuff if you ask. I tried somewhere around 8 of their beers while I was there. Very nice.

Brewery tour. Very small, expected it to be a little bigger, a little difficult to get to, behind all of the antique stores in Lambertville. Staff is very friendly, self-guided tour but you get the picture. It’s a nice little extra bonus if you’re hanging out in either Lambertville or New Hope.

This brewery is one of the nicer microbrew facilities I’ve seen, unfortunately they weren’t too keen on letting us walk around for the self tour on the day I was there, because they were bottling. Geez, don’t you think that’s the kind of thing people want to see on a brew tour? Guess they only let you wonder when nothing is running. Boring, but maybe it’s their insurance policy or whatever? Place is really nice though, lots of little touches that really make it visitor friendly. Things like clean bathrooms, seating, etc. Then there’s the beer........trying all the beers for free is always the best, but trying them all for a buck is pretty damn cool, too. The nice older lady working the bar even opened bottles of what wasn’t on tap, just for me. I thought that was really nice, considering I was there on a Tuesday at about 12:30 in the afternoon. Only bad thing I can say is that the awards on the wall are for their packaging, and not for their beers......which subtly lets you know the beers themselves aren’t too special.

Always start here and stop for the sampler when I’m thru town. The sampler is $1. Repeat $1! Repeat again ONE DOLLAR!! Thanks River Horse. I have also been to events here. The staff and crew are always nice, friendly and cordial and the brewery is into being part of the community. Yes the brews could be a scale up, but I’m rooting hard for them. Pick yourself up a variety pack, share it with friends and you’ll be happy, happy, happy.

I like this place, the brew master gave me and my friends a tour and answered all the questions a stupid college student would have. It’s a small brewery but in a cool old brick building and he gave us a few rounds of samples and didn’t make us pay the $1 charge, I think he would have drank with us all day if he had the chance. I really think this brewery is worth the trip it’s just a fun place to visit with you buddies.

my first brewery visit, no tour guide, cool i hate when people try to talk your ear off, was getting served samples while young girl bartender is also drinking, thought it was wierd, but cool, loved 1 of the beers i sampled of the 4, 2 were ok, and 1 i didnt like. walked out with a case of special ale, and a shirt from suvenior shop. it was cool, id have to visit another.

There is nothing typical about a self-guided tour. Then again, I’m not really interested in brewery tours anyway ("here’s our fermentor" "ooohhh"). I’ve never come across a River Horse beer from a bottle that I liked much, although at the brewery the beers seemed at least drinkable.
