distillery tour kansas city

jacob rieger & company was founded in 1887 in kansas city’s west bottoms livestock exchange district. the brand offered over 100 alcoholic products and took pride in maintaining a quarter of a million unique customers by offering mail-order delivery services. in 1919, prohibition was enacted by the federal government and wasn’t reversed until 1933. j. rieger & co. was a casualty at the time, but was not destined to be lost forever. nearly a century following prohibition, we are proud once again to call kansas city our home.
