Thanks. St Genevieve is a nice place with a lot of history. I didn't realize the little ferries still ran on the Mississippi around there.

I remember learning about St. Genevieve when I was in grade school.
There is no fifth destination.

Your pictures provide a good feel for the town. I like the brick close-ups and the variety of perspective.

Your pictures give a real feel for a small town.

St Genevieve is referenced in the great Son Volt song "Tear Stained Eye". Great to see pics of the town.

Textbook early generic brewpub, nothing exciting and perfectly quaff-able. Crown Valley Brewing Co.

Pretty sure my buddy found some of this bottled in town, something like "worktruck wheat"?

That sounds right, they have been really making a push I guess recently - which is how I found out about the beer (the grocery store end cap).
