Great American Beer Bar – 2019

by CraftBeer.com

We are honored to receive special recognition – voted by our great customers!  This prestigious award is not exclusive to breweries, but includes all venues that serve beer (that’s a lot of competition).  Being the best place in Missouri to relax and have a beer is what Friendship is all about!  In addition to our customers, we are extremely proud of our staff for helping us achieve our very best.

Barrel Release Series (BRS)

We still have plenty of the BRS, Belgian Dark Strong aged in Seagram’s Rye barrels, left for the taking. Stop by and grab a couple of bottles before they are gone.

Also released the same day will be After Hours Belgian Quad aged in Jim Beam Barrels. This is on draft only. 

Why Friendship?

Does friendship inspire brewing, or does brewing inspire friendship? Yes. Back in the late 1980’s, out on the prairie in Kansas, some college friends – in a wasteland of flavor devoid light lagers – decided to give brewing a try. It was fun. It was good. Many taste buds were saved. Over two decades later, after divorces, career challenges, personal peaks and valleys and a plethora of batches of homebrew later… it is still fun, and still good. When times were tough, when the future was uncertain, the comforting constant that kept us talking, laughing, creating, and enjoying life? Brewing good beer. When family and our many greatly appreciated friends urged us to ‘go make beer!’… well…thank you! We are. Brewed by friends, brewed for friends. Old friends, new friends, brew friends. Friendship inspires brewing, and brewing inspires friendship. Enjoy your friendships. Enjoy our Friendships!

Concerning Large Groups, Bus Trips and Events

Our taproom is limited in size. We do have some outdoor seating available when the weather is nice. We simply cannot handle large, unexpected parties. If you are stopping by with more than 10 in your group, please contact us a week in advance to give us the details. We will need to bring in extra staff to cover your party. We can take your information and we will try everything we can to accommodate you. Please understand that we are a taproom for a brewery and we simply cannot take large parties unexpectedly. Thanks!!
