St. Charles County, Missouri – Back by popular demand, beer lovers from across the region will gather again in the heart of Historic Missouri Wine Country for the 4th Annual Daniel Boone Home Brew Fest presented by the St. Charles County Parks and Recreation Department. The event is from 12 - 5 p.m., Saturday, May 15, at The Historic Daniel Boone Home, 1868 Highway F in Defiance. During this socially-distanced event, brewers will be spread throughout the scenic village grounds, and beer will be served from pitchers into disposable cups to limit contact.
