Brentwood-Based Krӓftig Beer Wins Gold

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.”

The article notes the beer is currently brewed in Wisconsin, but brewmaster Marc Gottfried said a brewery could be in St. Louis within two years.
