Friends, Family, Patrons, and Supporters,

We need your help. Riverbank Brewing is more than craft beer. We’re a gathering place, a supporter of local causes, a tourism destination, and a driver of life in downtown Council Grove.

In 2024 we started a music festival at the Neosho Riverwalk Amphitheater, Time Stands Still. Over 2,000 people attended the one-day event, doubling our town's population. This summer we took a huge leap and hosted year two of Time Stands Still. Going off of the momentum we saw in the first year where we broke even, we poured our hearts into bringing world-class music to our small Kansas town again. While we had generous sponsors and the event was amazing, the lack of ticket sales compared to the cost of execution left us with an over $40,000 loss that a business our size simply can't absorb alone. There's never been a time we have shied away from taking a leap, so we went all in as we did last year, but we've taken a devastating blow to our ability to continue operating.

We employ local staff, source from Kansas businesses, host endless free live music and events, give back and support every cause we possibly can. The music festival is just a piece of who we are and what we do. We're about community, connection, and making rural living the very best.

We're asking for you to Pour it Forward to help us bridge this financial gap as every dollar will help keep us going. To support us you can donate in any amount below, or drop by with a check in person. Checks can be mailed to Riverbank Brewing, 13 W. Main St. - Council Grove, KS 66846.

We know we’re not the only ones feeling the economic strain right now so the magnitude of your generosity is felt deeply. Thank you for believing in us and in small-town businesses like ours. We can’t do this without you.

With love and gratitude,
Deidre, Jesse, Joshua & Lindsay
