COVID-19 UPDATE

The Missouri Craft Distillers Guild is committed to the health and safety of every member in our industry, from partners to patrons.  Our members are watching events unfold just like you.  We have no crystal ball and as always, we respect the individual decisions of our members.   More than ever, we appreciate your interest in our beloved spirits producers here in Missouri and we want to see you all back on the Missouri Spirits Expedition as much you do.  But please, contact each outfitter to see if they are open before making the journey!

We know you incredible people want to continue to support craft spirits. Many distilleries offer bottle sales, curbside pickups, and have products available in retail stores around the state. During this time, we ask for your continued support to Missouri craft distilleries by:

• Checking if the hours at your local distillery have been altered by any local, state, or federal COVID-19 guidelines.

• Find out if your local distillery is offering to-go or curbside pickup.

• If your local retailer is open for business, purchase Missouri spirits or ask them to stock your favorite local spirit.

• Consider supporting small businesses as you make your preparations.

Public response to COVID-19 will have a huge impact on all small, local businesses throughout the state. Your favorite local distillers are reliant upon the support of their local community to remain viable. So THANK YOU for your ongoing commitment to craft spirits - there are no words to express our gratitude.  Stay safe. Stay sane. And in good spirits!
