All of their brews are made in-house state-of-the-art 15-barrel microbrewery. They have a few staple brews and ciders available year round but they also have many seasonal creations that are well worth the wait.

Best of all, they bottle and distribute their beers and ciders. Many Missourians can find a case of Crown Valley ales and ciders at their local liquor stores.

With all of the great beer that is coming out of Ste. Genevieve, it's no wonder the town has become a Midwestern brewing destination.

There are even more craft brewers working on tap rooms and microbreweries in the area. Keep an eye out for the Ste. Genevieve Brewing Co. as they continue to work on the renovation of the historic Ste. Genevieve Brewery building.
