Today we’d like to introduce you to Muddy Banks Brewing Co.
Hello, Muddy Banks Brewing Co., thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
Who We Are. Co-owners Drake Bequette, Makayla Bequette, and Mitchell Wideman embarked on the journey of bringing their dreams of a craft brewery to life in September 2019. Both Drake and Mitchell started home brewing years ago, where they developed a love and passion for brewing and wanted to bring that to their hometown of Sullivan, Missouri. If you’ve spent much time around here, you will have realized we are fond of the thousands of miles of muddy banks lining the numerous creeks and rivers of the area. We seek refuge from the searing heat and humidity perched upon them, floating between them and even sliding down them, but we also seek refuge from the hustle and bustle of life. Now, nobody is as good a host as the Meramec River or Spring Creek banks. However, our mission is to provide a refuge to the great people of the area, locals and visitors alike. We are veterans and proud children of Missouri and are excited to share a cold beer, a plate of food, and a great time with you.
Let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
Our biggest challenge has been switching from a home brewing system and learning how to scale that to a larger system and production. Besides that, it has been a seemingly smooth road with our community’s support!
We’ve been impressed with Muddy Banks Brewing Co., but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share about what you do and what sets you apart?
We are a veteran-owned and operated family brewery. Our kitchen is cooking some delicious meals with options for the whole family. Mouth-watering smash burgers and house-made sausages to brisket sandwiches that are to die for, all served with our signature crispy hand-cut fries. Here at Muddy Banks, we ensure our meat is of the highest quality you can taste in every bite! Our beef is locally sourced from 2M Beef and then smoked in-house, ready to be washed with your favorite Muddy Banks beer! With a craft beer menu catered towards our community and what they love and expect in their craft beer choices. We focus on community involvement, ensuring everyone feels like family when they walk through our doors and creating a safe and welcoming environment for our guests.
