A new MO brewery...

Crown Valley Brewing
St. Genevieve, Missouri
Looks like they might be getting closer. I have contacted the brewery, but have not heard back yet.

OUR BREWMASTER

"Crown Valley Brewmaster, Mark Walters, began his career as a free apprentice at Independence Brewery in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Learning under his talented mentor, Scott Christofel, Mark worked 40 unpaid hours a week for over a year. Using Christofel as a reference, Mark then landed a position as Head Brewer for Big Bear Brewing Company in Coral Springs, Florida. Putting his education and talent to good use, the brewery produced 500 barrels per year with 16 different styles on 7 taps. After leaving Big Bear, Mark worked for a short time at Bullfrog Brewery in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. In just one year, Mark worked to produce over 25 different styles. In 2002, Mark began working as an Assistant Head Brewer at the major microbrewery, Abita Brewing Company in Abita Springs, Louisiana. Producing an impressive 60,000 barrels per year, Mark worked with renowned styles like Purple Haze, Turbodog and Restoration Ale. Mark, along with his family, has now made his home in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri to become Crown Valley Brewing & Distilling Company’s Brewmaster. Mark will be producing a line of handcrafted brews to be enjoyed by thousands. With his favorite styles and techniques, Mark brings his expertise and artistry to Crown Valley. Mark believes that brewing is part science, but entirely an art form. His favorite beer is Belgian Dubbel and he prefers French and Belgian Ales. Taking pride in his craft, Mark says, “When everything comes together and you make something to be proud of, it is something special.” And just as he is proud of his creations, Crown Valley is proud to welcome him as Brewmaster to Crown Valley Brewing and Distilling Company. -- Crown Valley
