Let’s bury the hatchet on prohibition.
Carrie Nation wielded a hatchet to smash saloons as the figurehead of the Temperance movement that would eventually lead to the 18th amendment and prohibition. With the 21st amendment, we repealed that poor decision in our country’s history. Carrie Nation never lived to see that day, and is buried right here in Belton Missouri.
With that kind of history in our back yard, many have mixed feelings. Look – we just want to bury the hatchet on this local connection and have a few craft beers to show there are no hard feelings.
We’re opening Broken Hatchet Brewing in historic downtown Belton and celebrating our community. We’re brewing up classic styles of beer as well as a few thought provoking beers in our Hatchet Series. We’re located downtown in the old library that helped educate the community from 1975-2003. So if you’re hot for teacher, you may enjoy a few beers from our Library Series. It’s also an excuse to mix in a few witty library and education metaphors.
All reward levels are picked up in the brewery. All beer rewards require proof of age at time of consumption.
