But the state’s craft beer scene is also thriving, with local breweries — like Boulevard Brewing Co., Mother’s Brewing Company, Schlafly, Urban Chestnut, and more — producing hundreds of thousands of barrels each year.

Missouri was also home to the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) and was at the center of U.S. winemaking long before Napa came onto the scene.
