History
editRiver Horse Brewing Co. was founded by the Bryan brother, Jim, Jack, and Tim. The original location was in Lambertville, New Jersey in the 10,000 sq ft OTC Cracker Factory.[2] After 11 years, the brother sold the brewery to Glenn Bernabeo and Chris Walsh, who just sold their private equity firm SSG Capital Advisors and were looking for "Another Challenge".[3] In 2013 they moved the brewery to a new 25,000 sq ft facility in Ewing, NJ.[4]

They also produce a variety of seasonal ales, such as a summer blonde ale and autumn pumpkin ale.[4]
