Buffalo chicken pizza
Megan V.

Awesome brewery! I'm sad we never noticed it the last few years, but thankfully on a failed attempt to eat at Fabio on Fire we stumbled upon Richter Aleworks! I did a flight with the seltzers, wheat, and blonde ale. My husband had the English Ale and said it was okay. The seltzers were delightful! Lacking in carbonation which was honestly a wonderful surprise! Add some vodka to the seltzer and you'll have a WONDERFUL pool cocktail! We also shared the Buffalo chicken pizza which was tasty but lacked a sufficient amount of chicken and Buffalo sauce to justify $15 for a pizza.

This brewery has the best rotating options for all drinkers. Gluten free options, great IPA's, smooth stouts and mouth watering pizza with the best crust i've had in a while. The service is awesome & the guys can hang for real. Always have the games on the tv and a boppin playlist. TRY THEM OUT whenever you're in the area. Richter is where it's at:)

Been spending the last year going around and trying all the local breweries! Fun times. Beer flights is what I suggest if you aren't sure what to try. Many breweries love talking about their beer and will give samples in many cases. This place doesn't seem like they want to chat with their guests and educate on what they brew. No biggie - with flights you can figure it out yourself. They had some solid beer, but nothing that knocked my socks off. I love the decor and the tap handles are cool. I'd pop in again if in the area, but too many other breweries around to make much effort.

We love to come and get some beer and hang out. They have a nice outdoor patio with sun or shade. The beer is great. Follow them on FB to see food trucks and pizza nights!

Been coming here for a while and owe this awesome place a review. By far my favorite brewery in the Northwest Peoria area. Beers are always on point and always hit the spot for many styles and their seltzers (yes they have their own seltzers) have now hit a point where those who aren't fans of beer LOVE their seltzers! Not super gassy and over carbonated so they drink and finish well. Food truck Fridays!!!! They have some of the best food trucks on Fridays. When they don't have food trucks, their in-house "Cade's Pizza Kitchen" is crazy delicious and always evolving. Great place! Support your local small business!

Seven different Richter beers on tap.

If I could give a million stars I would. How often do you find great taprooms with good bar food? With 13 taps of excellent Arizona craft beer and a little more than half being their own you can't go wrong stopping in here. If you want a snack try the jalapeño poppers, they are excellent.

I noticed you deleted all your responses.

This place is alright. It's a brewery but only two beers were theirs, and the bar tender pretended that they all were? The staff greeted us and then didn't pay much attention the rest of the time. Considering I work in the beer industry and was looking to get some kegs distributed, they didn't make a great impression at all. The other beers they had on tap were awesome. Theirs were alright. One tasted like Sculpin and the other was okay. Edit: Considering the condescending and unprofessional response I got from this review, here's a tip. A little training in hospitality and customer service goes a long way. Responses to criticism are not how you build your business. If a trip to California will help employees be more engaging and helpful in answering questions then by all means please stop by. Any form of criticism clearly does not go over well with your business so hopefully nobody else who walks through your doors is as unsatisfied or they'll really be given a reason to stay away. By the way, you really have no place to comment on unprofessionalism after your response. You're running a business, not being caddy to another girl in your high school class. P. S. Thank you for publicly showing how professional you are. I'm assuming you're the woman that stood at the end of bar, wearing cat ears, the entire 45 minutes we were there. Considering you said all of 2 things to us and the entirety of our visit was spent trying to ask questions to the younger gentleman behind the bar, I don't see how your nasty remarks are warranted. Please continue to act this way on a site where are trying to promote your business. I wish you the best of luck because it looks like you desperately need it. By the way, I never actually said I didn't like your beer. We just didn't find it very impressionable. Cheers.

Cool, quaint neighborhood type bar with specialty beers and good drinks. They don't serve food. But there was a food truck when we went.

Walking into this place feels like stepping into your own neighborhood version of Cheers--the kind…read moreof spot where the bartenders actually know your name, your drink, and probably your story too. There's a genuine, laid-back energy here that you just can't fake, and it makes every visit feel like you're hanging out with friends rather than just grabbing a beer. A huge part of that comes from the people. Tiffany, the owner, has clearly built something special here--there's intention behind everything, and it shows. Deidra behind the bar is always attentive, on top of it, and great to talk to--she makes you feel taken care of without ever being over the top. And then there's Kyle...absolute character in the best way. The kind of bartender that brings personality to the place and makes every visit a little more memorable. The beer lineup is outstanding. Their in-house brews are dialed in, and if you know craft beer, you'll appreciate seeing things like Drekker sours on the guest tap list--hard to find and always a hit. And their Trick of the Light IPA from Throne? Absolute standout--crisp, balanced, and dangerously easy to keep going back for another. The food deserves just as much attention. The burgers are legit--juicy, flavorful, and cooked right every time. The sliders are perfect if you want to mix and match or just not commit to one thing, and the onion rings are next level--crispy, golden, and honestly some of the best you'll find anywhere. What really sets this place apart, though, is how unique it is to the area. It's not just another brewery--it's a true community spot. Places like this are rare, and they only stick around if people show up and support them. If you appreciate great beer, great food, and even better people, this is one of those spots you want to keep coming back to.

Delicious and surprisingly affordable brewery! I stopped by with a group of friends for happy hour…read more(M-F 3-6p) and stayed for a trivia (every Wednesday at 7pm). We tried various beers, the fries basket, and pretzel, which were overall okay but served in large portions perfect for sharing! I got a mango beer, forgot the exact name, but I enjoyed it even though I'm not a beer drinker normally! Didn't even notice they offered cocktails. Happy hour deals are as follows: $1 OFF PINTS $2 OFF PITCHERS (SPECIALTY BEERS DO NOT QUALIFY) $4 FRIED PICKLES $4 PRETZEL $5 MONKEY BREAD $12 SAMPLER PLATTER Trivia night got really packed and lively. All beer drinkers should stop by for affordable drinks, bites, and fun!

There are so many breweries, taprooms bars around the valley. Whatever you choose to all them…read morethere's definitely a chance you'll find one you love or have. We stopped on our way to check this spot out since we didn't know when we'd be in the area again. You won't find food at Cactus Taproom so if you're looking for a glass of whine, beer or a little of both this may be your spot. What caught my eye was they offer flights. I love flights because you get to try a little of quite a few to see what you like or don't. When we pulled into the lot I was surprised at how small it is. There is a bar of course, a handful of high top tables and a small patio. The place was packed. We somehow managed to snag the last available table. It was full of definite locals as many seemed familiar with each other. There was one man running the bar and though very busy he was friendly, patient and no one seemed to be having to wait long for drinks. The place was clean. I thought it was cool that they offered many fridges of different beers etc to purchase and take home or of course drink while there. If you read my reviews I love sour beers and this is part of why we came here. I tried both they had on tap and unfortunately wasn't a fan of either. We will have to come back and maybe try a few in the fridge section. I didn't want to try anything else and risk mixing wine etc. good local spot of just wanted to have a few drinks alone or with friends.
