Nothing brings a community together like music. For their inaugural Heritage Music Festival, Public House Brewing Company and St. James Winery have put together a lineup of bands that honor the area’s rich folk, country and bluegrass music traditions.

The all-day music festival on Saturday, June 24 is at The Gardens at St. James from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Gardens, located between the brewery and winery (551 State Route B, St. James, Mo. 65559), is a beautifully landscaped outdoor seating area.

Jack Grelle, one of Rolling Stone’s 1n0 ew country artists you need to know, is headlining the festival. The other bands performing include:

Rosa String Works
Trilogy
Dead End Road
Tyler Elliott and Justyn Moreland
Rosewood Band

Tickets are $5. Children under 5 are free. The ticket provides all-day entry into The Gardens to listen to the bands. Guests will receive a wristband at the gate that allows them to come and go as they please. Public House beer and St. James Winery wine and cider will be available to purchase, along with made-from-scratch food and wood-fired pizzas from Public House’s menu. Guests can bring their own seating, such as folding chairs or blankets, as the available seating in The Gardens is limited.

Part of the proceeds from the festival benefits the Friendship School Foundation, an organization dedicated to engaging and educating the Missouri craft beverage industry and local community on environmental, social, cultural and economic sustainability best practices.

St. James Winery & Public House Brewing Company Sponsor the True/False Film Fest

events, good cause, hard cider, parties, press release, tastings

St. James Winery and Public House Brewing Company are proud sponsors of the four-day True/False Film Fest in Columbia, Mo. for the next three years.

According to their website, True/False offers a heightened four-day weekend of creative placemaking in which filmmakers, artists, musicians and others remake the mid-sized college town into a one-of-a-kind utopia. The transformative, rambunctious, ecstatic experience of T/F creates a cathartic journey that forces participants to do nothing less than to re-imagine reality.

Like our winery and brewery, True/False believes in doing what is environmentally and socially just for our local and global community.

St. James Winery is a super sponsor and the exclusive wine and cider sponsor of the festival. Public House Brewing Company is a silver sponsor. The wine, hard cider and beer from both companies will be poured at all events throughout the festival.

There’s still time to purchase passes to the True/False Film Fest March 2-5, 2017. We look forward to seeing you there!

Six Ways to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

good cause, harvest, innovations, our people

Winemaking inherently depends on the land and the environment, so it makes sense that we would want to give back as an industry. Plus, the benefits of sustainable wine production aren’t just for the environment. Consumers are increasingly seeking out sustainably produced wine, and saving resources can also keep cash in your coffers.

With the right planning, sustainable practices can be a great boon to winemakers, consumers, and Mother Earth.

Here are six ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle at your winemaking operation, from setting water consumption KPIs to finding your inner artist.

Rev up the grill

fruit wine, good cause

May is National Barbecue Month, and it’s easy to see why — the sky is blue, the temps are perfect, and the flowers are blooming. All of that provides the perfect backdrop for firing up the grill and enjoying the weather.

St. James Winery’s Raspberry Chipotle Barbecue Sauce, part of our Heritage Recipes Collection, is a delicious combination of sweet and heat that pairs especially well with pulled pork or brisket.

Made with our very own Raspberry Wine, it’s a great addition to your backyard barbecue!

Sustainability at St. James Winery

good cause, innovations, our people, st. james winery

Being a company that supports sustainability practices is like having Mother Nature’s stamp of approval. While many businesses try to position themselves as “green,” not all green companies are painted the same shade.

So, how green is green enough to position yourself as an environmentally conscious company? For the average consumer, any green tactics may be enough to entice them to believe in your brand and your efforts. But many hardcore conservationists may roll their eyes at your attempts to gain favor. Or worse yet, they might identify practices that you had no idea were the opposite of green.

In this article, Andrew Meggitt explains how you can make sure your company isn’t greenwashing and outlines how to capitalize on your sustainability efforts.
