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.

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.
