- Tuesday, join the Homebrew ZOO for their monthly meeting. You don’t have to be a member, just a fan of beer and brewing. Meeting starts at 7:30 PM and is in person (outdoors) at the Homebrewery in Ozark, Missouri.
- Also Tuesday is Taco Tuesday at Springfield Brewing Company, where they will be debuting Pineapple Express, a Hazy IPA with pineapple. It’s a limited release, and they are tapping the ONLY KEG Tuesday. 6 packs are available to-go.
Things we’re watching for:
- Big Brew Day is May 1st all over the country, but you should be at The Homebrewery in Ozark, Missouri. Outdoor event, where homebrewers come out and demonstrate how to brew.

Hey! We’re back and working on some new features, hoping to get some great profiles going, and renewing the Rundown and What’s On Tap! for your enjoyment.
There’s going to be some slow starting here, but since the site has been dormant for a couple of years, we need to spin some things up. I’m currently working on a heat map of sorts using the Untappd API that will allow you to see where the most recent check-ins are happening across the city, but that may be a little bit away.
In the meantime, I’ll start getting some Rundown posts ready for you and hopefully a feature article or two about some of the local breweries.
Do you have something you want us to cover or an idea for a local beer feature or a widget for the site? Let us know. We want to make this site a great go-to for all things local beer in 417 land.
