- That we saw the potential
for improvement in the community
and wanted to do something
more to help revitalize
the town we grew up in.
So we decided we'd open a microbrewery,
since I knew how to make beer
and everybody seemed to like drinking it.
Hi, my name is Joe Backes.
I am the owner of River
Bottoms Brewing Company
in Carrollton, Missouri.
It was important to us
that we have unique stuff
that stands out, that gets people talking.
We try to get creative with the menu.
One of our customer favorite
are the Pizza Peppers.
One of my favorites is
the Buffalo chicken,
where you add the white
sauce, add our chicken to it,
bacon, red onion, mozzarella cheese.
As it comes out of the
oven we will drizzle over
the Buffalo sauce and our homemade ranch.
It's like eating hot wings
stuffed inside of a pepper.
Our peanut butter and
jalapeno jelly pizza,
we basically created a mixture
of ricotta and peanut butter
that we'll spread over our dough.
We'll add bacon, sweet jalapeno jelly,
and then top it all off
with mozzarella cheese.
My favorite thing about
this entire experience
has been being able to bring
something that is unique
with the cozy ambience
in a historic building
with good food, good beer,
and the live music experience
on the weekends.
It just makes you feel good
to be able to have added
so much value to our hometown.
