Ozark Distillery and Brewery sits on the shimmering edge of Lake of the Ozarks in Osage Beach, Missouri, where a team of serious hobbyists whips up small‑batch spirits that would make a purist’s head spin. Their corn whiskey is smooth as silk because they use only Missouri‑grown grains and never add sugar – a small miracle in an age of shortcuts. The line‑up also includes a riot of flavored moonshines (yes, sweet‑tea‑infused, because why not?), stout bourbon whiskeys and a vodka that whispers rather than shouts.
Next door, the Ozark Brewery serves up craft beers that flirt with bourbon barrel‑aging, delivering depth without pretension, and a menu of wood‑fired pizzas that could coax a grin from even the grimmest critic. The tasting room is a playground of free samples, an array of BBQ sauces, and an informative tour that feels more like a show‑and‑tell than a lecture (the guides know their business and love to share it).
All in all, the place is a celebration of genuine craftsmanship – no gimmicks, just good grain, good fire, and good humor.
Ozark Distillery and Brewery is praised for its diverse offerings, including unique flavors, tasty cocktails, and excellent staff. A warm and comfortable environment with plenty of seating is also a highlight, along with outdoor seating options.
