This new brewery will focus on artisan, small-batch beers and craft, barrel-aged whiskeys. In addition, the award-winning, all natural Kräftig Lager and Kräftig Light will be made there. Here, brewing styles both old and new will collide with Busch family tradition, reflecting the very heart of the family’s company’s vision and creating a new era of Busch brewing.
This new, exciting chapter of Busch family brewing will unfold on the Bridlespur Hunt Club. This is the same land that Busch’s father, August Anheuser “Gussie” Busch, Jr., founded along with other family members and holds a lot of history for the Busch family.
“Family is everything to me. To be able to start this journey on land that holds so many memories is a feeling I can’t begin to put into words,” Busch said. “We can’t wait to begin brewing classic and new vibrant beers at this new facility!”
After receiving approval from the St. Charles County Council last week, the Busch family will begin developing and planning the construction of the new facility.
