Good News Brewing Company - Defiance

Hop Pin And Go

Let me preface this by saying: this place was not in the plans. We were *supposed* to be 30 min away in St Peters, but when we arrived to our RV campgrounds, we were greeted by a road closure sign and flooding. In a scurry, we found the next place with vacancy, in the middle of what felt like the mouth of he'll opening up and swallowing us in a flood. The campground with vacancy is in Definace,MO (Beyond the Trail RV Park), a breath away from an incredible ride on the Katy Trail, and at the mouth of the entrance? THIS AMAZING BREWERY. So just picture this: we are flooded at campground #1, desperate in a torrential downpour, Beyond The Trail RV park accepts us, and after 4 hours of driving and some unexpected twists, you arrive at the best kept secret in the area. Ambiance: spot on. Allows and welcomes pups: check! Amazing IPAs, but also CIDER: DOUBLE CHECK! Annnnnnd FOOD! Pizza made from a super nifty guy in the back, tossing mini pizza dough like a pro,and adding toppings you request. Also? An adorable cheese, fruit, veggie tray with peanut butter, hummus, and chocolate raisens. I mean, what?! And how do you level ALL THAT up? You name the brewery "GOOD NEWS"! So when we landed in the flood plain, and we were wondering whether evacuations would have relocating again, there was at least some Good News to be had ❤️ And luckily, we had it. Absolutely pin to your maps and enjoy some Good News with us.

A nice late afternoon ride on the Katy brought us to this terrific Brewery. There was plenty of seating and the outdoor area was open as well. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We grabbed a quick drink and snacked on some garlic bread...yum! Plenty of spots to park your car or (like us) your bike. They also had a tool and air station so, if you need to tighten something up or air up your tires, you could definitely do that here. We had to pedal back since it started to get dark, but we will definitely be back. Thanks for the hospitality!

They were amazing! I needed a wedding venue short notice and they were incredibly well organized and helpful. The food was delicious and everyone loved the different beer selections. So thankful they came across my radar and I can’t wait to go back!

My fiancé and I had a meeting with Mandy who gave us a tour and sat and spoke with us about what it would look like to have our ceremony and reception at Good News. The experience was wonderful, Mandy was a very welcoming host and focused on us while we were there. We were not her only appointment/meeting that day, but we did not feel rushed or like just one meeting on a list. While at Good News we were able to try some of their beer, it was great! We also tried their Vampire Deathwish Pizza, it was delicious. If you’re in the area, you should give it try!
