Missouri Loves Company

MISSOURI LOVES COMPANY

The Missouri Craft Brewers Guild is proud to bring you the newest version from our collaboration beer project "Missouri Loves Company®" - Sticke Altbier. Brewers from across the Show-Me State came together at Mother's Brewing Company in Springfield in late-July to brew the recipe they developed together via video conferencing. The brewers vote on what style they want to brew and we work with our Allied Trade partners on securing ingredients and supplies. The experience gives our brewers the opportunity to experiment with new ingredients and collectively see how they will work in a recipe before they decide to use them in their own breweries.

Several Missouri brewers and Allied Trade members came together to brew the latest Missouri Loves Company® beer at Mother's Brewing Company.

Our Missouri Loves Company® version of Sticke Altbier will be 6% ABV and 30 IBUs and was brewed with Isaria, Munich, Melanoidin, and Chocolate Wheat malts, and hopped with German Akoya, Contessa, and Salvo. As the lore for this style of beer goes, the "sticke" part of the name means "secret." This was the beer that the brewer traditionally made for themselves with a higher alcohol content, but the brewery would put a sign with the word "sticke" in the window to let customers know that the beer was being tapped. Just in time for Oktoberfest season, our "secret" will be released on September 21 at each of our 34 participating brewery locations. We hope you love drinking it as much as we loved brewing it.

The name of our collaboration beer series genuinely represents our state's craft beer community. Even before a virus rocked our worlds, Missouri craft brewers helped each other solve problems, share ideas, and work together to make all Missouri craft beer better. That spirit of camaraderie remained strong and helped forge new and stronger bonds among our already close-knit industry.

A collaboration with 34 member breweries and the support of ten corporate sponsors, the proceeds from this project will directly benefit the Missouri Craft Brewers Guild. By buying this beer, you're supporting the Guild and our efforts to advocate for the craft beer industry at the state and federal level, and to promote independent craft brewers in the Show-Me State.
