Bill > HB681

This bill designates J. Rieger & Co. as the official Kansas City whiskey of Missouri. The legislation amends Chapter 10 of the Missouri Revised Statutes by adding a new section that officially recognizes J. Rieger & Co. as the state's official Kansas City whiskey. The bill highlights the historical significance of the distillery, noting that it was the largest mail-order whiskey house in the United States before Prohibition and was revived in 2015, becoming the first whiskey distilled in Kansas City since the Prohibition era. By passing this bill, the Missouri General Assembly would be formally acknowledging the cultural and historical importance of J. Rieger & Co. in the state's brewing and distilling heritage.
