4 By 4 Brewing Company

2811 E Galloway St ste a, Sprinfield (417) 861-6400 www.4by4brewingcompany.com

4 by 4 Brewing Company was started in 2017 by 4 guys and their 4 wives (thus 4 by 4). The dream started in a garage while home brewing, and grew into the passion of the owners of this 2 location brewery.

The Galloway location is their small-batch micro brewery with plenty of space for community to gather, and the 2nd Stop on this tour. They specialize in creative & innovative beer, offering something for new craft beer drinkers and pros alike.

Tie & Timber Beer Company

1451 E Cherry Street, Springfield (417) 429-9131 www.tieandtimberbeerco.com

When arriving at this brewery I was amazed at the artistic, urban feel. The outdoor space is inviting and enticing with shade and art all around. We were pleased to find the same feel throughout the interior, and immediately felt welcome.

Started in 2018, they brew premium, fresh craft beer and serve it in a neighborhood environment, with a community feel. They often have live music and they have a heated outdoor area to gather. Enjoy our 3rd Stop on the tour!

Hold Fast Brewing

235 N Kimbrough Ave, Springfield (417) 761-2318 www.hfbrewing.com

Hold Fast Brewing, established in 2019, is a family affair. Operated in an decommissioned Firehouse, the space is a fantastic indoor/outdoor experince. In addition to their tasty craft beers, they have rotating food trucks onsite offering snacks and meals, necessary during a brew tour!

Specializing in unique, out of the box recipes, Hold Fast gives you plenty of tastes to come back for. This is the 4th Stop in our Brew Tour.

Springfield Brewing Company

305 S Market Ave, Springfield (417) 832-8277 www.springfieldbrewingco.com

This brewery is a staple in the downtown area. Known locally as “BrewCo” and “SBC”, they have been a staple of the community since 1997. Operated as a local brew pub, they also provide delicious food and spirits in house.

Our 5th Stop on the Brew tour presents a larger, restaurant style experience. Not as intimate as the other breweries, but every bit as enjoyable. They offer many local favorites on tap and canned to go.

Mother’s Brewing Company

215 S Grant Ave, Springfield (417) 862-0423 www.mothersbrewing.com

Mother’s Brewing is the 6th stop on our Brew Tour and it offers the most unique environment. When I first visited, I immediately felt I had stepped back onto the playground at school and was hit with nostalgia. The field onsite provides a playground and games for guests and their families. There is a cute covered patio and plenty of grass for relaxing in the sun.

They offer brew tours on Saturdays, providing one of the most comprehensive back scene tours I have experienced. They have a handful of their popular beers available around the lake in stores too.

White River Brewing Company

505 W Commercial St, Springfield (417) 600-2739 www.whiteriverbrewing.com

This final stop on our Brew Tour has been brewing since 2012 in downtown Springfield and has a “Cheers style” atmosphere. Everyone seems to know each other and the sense of belonging is contagious.

This brew house has their year round favorites as well as ever changing seasonal beers. The mission here is “making beer we like to drink for folks we like to drink with”. They have a nice outdoor area and a large back room for events.

While there are many breweries in the area, we chose these based on their close proximity to each other, which allows for an easy day trip. Please be sure to check websites for hours of operation before going.

Always have a designated driver and drink responsibly.
