Gold, silver, and copper attracted hopeful miners from all over the west. Today, Red River is equally as rich but now with outdoor activities, beautiful wildlife, and family fun. The addition of Red River Brewing Company in 2018 helps tell more of the story of Red River. The brewery building mimics the aesthetic of an old mining town, while the beer and dish names hint some of the local legends and specials. Glen Calhoun moved his family to Red River in 1960 because he saw something special about this town and these mountains. He believed in a bright future for Red River and he worked hard to make that happen. He simply loved Red River and its people. Since then, four generations of Calhouns have lived here and continue the work Glen started so many years ago.  Red River has grown and changed over the years, but some things never change - people still know Red River is a special place.  Visitors still fall in love with these mountains and this community.  People feel truly alive here.   It’s this strong sense of respect for the past and belief in the future of Red River that inspired us to create Red River Brewing Company & Distillery.  It’s a place that is authentically Red River where families can gather to make lasting memories in this little mountain town we call home.
