@wnorris3 @emmajanzen @CraftMissouri Yep. And haven't mentioned yet laws that allow for beer/wine to be shipped directly to consumers, while spirits can not. All of this is related to lingering impact from Prohibition. Spirits do not get treated the same. They should. Parity is needed.

[Missouri Craft Distillers Guild @CraftMissouri]

THIS. We need parity in the industry. Alcohol is alcohol is alcohol...it doesn't matter if it's beer, wine, or spirits based. Distillers are treated differently, and it's not a level playing field. @emmajanzen

[Ryan Maybee @RoundTableRye]

@emmajanzen True. And very frustrating. However, a big reason this happens is due to the disparity in taxation between malt-based fermented alcohol vs. actual spirits. Companies and brands are incentivized against using spirits. That needs to change. @CraftMissouri

[Missouri Craft Distillers Guild @CraftMissouri]

Check this out! The listing of MO Distilleries on our Missouri Spirits Expedition is incomplete, so we'll need to get that updated. But here's another great resource for Distillery tours!

[Emma Janzen @emmajanzen]

Totally missed this: last year @DistilledSpirit launched a distillery tourism website with a database for finding distilleries to visit, including 40+ state-by-state trails. https://t.co/IBanDO5DR0

[Ryan Maybee @RoundTableRye]
