North River Hops and Brewing
It is reported, that this location is closed!
After years of work, NRHB officially opened their doors in 2014, and have been providing Dutchess County (and beyond) with an ever changing variety of freshly brewed beer both at the brewery and wherever a growler can be brought. Owned and operated by Kevin and Felicia Fischetti and their daughter and son-in-law, Nicki and Brandin Stabell, these four operate a true mom-and-pop shop on Route 9 in the Village of Wappingers Falls.
