As promised, Crown Valley Brewing & Distilling’s taproom and beer garden are good to go. Opening May 2, the taproom will feature a 70-foot copper-topped tasting bar, a stone fireplace, and views of the bottling line and distilling operations. Outside, expect a fire pit and panoramic views of the Ste. Genevieve countryside. House brews will include American blond ale, amber lager, porter, dubbel, traditional wheat, raspberry wheat and cider, too. Spirits to follow soon.
