Craft Beer Cellar

We are a craft beer bottle shop, whose primary focus has always been the best beer that we can get our hands on. We spend our lives in search of beers made in breweries just down the street or on the other side of the world, that are well-crafted and good examples of either their style or what we think excellent beer should be, keeping in mind that "style" is not everything. We are not snobs, we are beer geeks! We are students of our trade and take great pride in learning everything we can about beer; how it's made, what the ingredients are, what we should drink it from, what food a beer pairs well or can be made with. We like to tinker with draft systems, tap faucets and kegs, and have been known to brew some pretty ridiculous beer, ourselves. We are your local beer bottle shop and in many states, draft bar for growler fills or in-store draft service. Many stores offer limited food service as well as an extensive selection of books, glassware and homebrew supplies. We are good beer, good people, and good times! All beer geeks in all of our stores are, at minimum, are Cicerone Certified Beer Servers and many go on to obtain higher certifications. Rest assured that we have studied & researched every single beer in all of our stores, before we made a decision to put it on the shelf. Our customers are the reason we exist and you should expect to be treated like you are important to us! We carry boxes to cars, make great eye contact, genuinely care how your day is going, and are not afraid to own our mistakes, if we screw something up. In addition to great beer and education, we promise that you'll always have an awesome experience at any Craft Beer Cellar! We are committed to driving the growth and awareness of craft beer through hospitality, education and support of exceptional beer. Craft beer isn’t a section of the store for us . . . it’s what we are all about!

My favorite stop in Columbia on my way to St. Louis from KC. Staff, space, and selection of high quality handmade gifts is unmatched in the state. The gallery has also been awarded prestigious national awards by Niche Magazine and others over it's nearly 40 years in business in downtown Columbia. Their inventory is always changing with unusual and original gifts. It's a very relaxing and and sunny space with a very sweet staff.

Peggy Jean's Pies

Reviewed By Cegis360Playground

In the early 90's two women named Peggy and Jean decided to start a pie business because one loved to make pastry and the other loved to make pie fillings. Each pie represented their love and their expertise for this craft. It is my understanding that these great ladies have retired, but their business lives on. I recently attended a wake where 35 of Peggy Jean's pies were offered as the desserts. I sampled 5 different pies and all were just as good as I remembered them.

The Candy Factory

Reviewed By anderson213 - Hannibal, United States

Beautiful store. It has a sophisticated look, but maybe a bit overcrowded. But, it has all the variety that one needs. It seems every flavor is represented. There are also many fun chocolate shapes and animals. There are even chocolate frogs for the Harry Potter fan. The Katy's are delicious and the staff attentive and helpful.
