Brentwood-Based Krӓftig Beer Wins Gold

Krӓftig Beer beat out some big names. It will soon be brewing test batches on Litzsinger Road.

A brewing company headquartered in Brentwood recently won a top award, beating out other national brands, the Riverfront Times reports.

The Brentwood Board of Aldermen in December approved a liquor license for the William K Busch Company to brew beer in 10-gallon quantities for testing purposes.

“The North American Beer Awards (or NABA for those in the know) recently awarded a gold medal in the American-style light lager beer category to Krӓftig Light, brewed by St. Louis-based William K. Busch Brewing Company,” according to the RFT. “Krӓftig beat out several of the bigwigs, including second-place Michelob Ultra and third-place Budweiser Select.”
