What Riverside's weather means for breweries
Warm weather fills much of the calendar in Riverside, with 101 days a year at 90°F or above and August averaging a high of 95°F, so lightweight tees and vented caps should far outnumber fleece on the shelf. December bottoms out at an average high of 67°F, so tees and caps do the work all year and a hoodie run is mostly a holiday gift order. At least five months a year average under half an inch of rain, so an outdoor release or patio event in those months can be set weeks ahead with little need for a rain date. The thermometer reaches 100°F on around 22 days a year, which makes mesh-back caps and light-colored tees the patio sellers and a lighter staff shirt kinder to whoever works the outdoor bar. At around 9.4 inches of rain a year, a merch table on the patio needs shade far more often than a rain cover.

Ordering from Riverside
When should a taproom in Riverside lean on tees and caps instead of fleece?
Nearly always. Every month in Riverside averages a high of 65°F or more and summers are hot, so fleece only needs the front of the shelf in the weeks before the holidays, as a gift.
