Craft Worth
Coming Back For.

Twenty-five years of serious beer and honest food on Business Loop 70. Twelve rotating taps. A full kitchen that doesn't cut corners. No pretence.

Built to Last.
Brewed with Intent.

We opened in 1999 on a stretch of Business Loop 70 that most people were already writing off. We didn't think it needed saving — we thought it needed a good beer and a reason to stick around.

Twenty-five years later, we're still here. Still brewing. Still cooking. The regulars keep coming back, which is the only metric that matters.

The Show-Me IPA is hands-down the best beer in Columbia. Great atmosphere, attentive staff, and the brisket sandwich is worth every penny.

Been coming here since 2004. It never gets old. The Katy Trail Wheat in spring is a seasonal ritual at this point.

Finally made it in for the 25th anniversary event. The history on these walls is incredible. Exceptional food and the barrel-aged stout was transcendent.

Wonderful spot for a date night. The smoked whitefish dip is a must. Comfortable, not too loud, genuinely good beer.

My go-to whenever I'm in Columbia visiting my daughter at Mizzou. Consistent quality year after year — that's rare.
