In the early 1900’s, the first Anheuser-Busch distributor opened in Sedalia as part of a grocery distributor. The distributorship changed ownership several times as it endured prohibition, the Great Depression and three wars.

Robert “Bob” Beykirch established County Distributing, in 1957, buying the rights to distribute Anheuser-Busch products from Stevens Distributing, which was located just south of the Katy Depot. During that year, Schlitz was the national market share leader! How times have changed! With just two trucks, two drivers and Bob Beykirch, the projected sales for that year were 60,000 cases of beer – a far cry from that distributed today. They have grown from 14 items to over 175 malt beverage brands sourced from 9 brewer suppliers. Those suppliers range from Anheuser-Busch to O’Fallon, Tallgrass, Deschutes, Weston, Green Flash and several other Craft Brewers.

The Employees of County Distributing bring value to beer drinkers by

• ensuring fresh product at retail
• providing a way for small brewers to market their beers
• sponsoring and promoting special events and occassions
• offering full beverage management and merchandising services for Grocers, Convenience Stores, Liquor Stores and Restaurants in 5 surrounding counties.

Now in its fifth location at 1800 Eagleview Drive, the 48,500 square foot facility is 97% larger than that of the first facility. It features a cooled 20,000 square foot area which is designed to keep their beers “brewery fresh.” Sedalia is also the administrative “hub” for the other operations.

Owners, Paul and Joe Beykirch, are active in the family business and have been involved in the community with many organizations, was a tenet of “service to others” which their father held dear. County Distributing is the only locally owned beer distributor in Sedalia and employs 45 people.

They have additional distributorships in West Plains, Missouri and Pittsburg, Kansas. The sons of the founder are active in each location.

Herb Grellner started Grellner Truck Line in 1941.  In those days, Herb hauled livestock out of Rich Fountain, Missouri. It wasn't until the mid 1950's that, much by chance, Grellner began hauling beer.  A truck headed to Chicago to pick up a load of Edelweiss Beer broke down around Rich Fountain, and Herb ended up heading to Chicago to pick-up that load of beer.  Realizing the business potential, and making use of the contacts he made on that first haul, Herb began distributing Edelweiss in Rich Fountain. Today, Grellner has branches in Rolla (Main Office), West Plains, Camdenton, and Sedalia.

Precision Manufacturing is a metal fabrication company. They are best known for producing the Hy-Reach Clipper, which was invented in 1992. The Hy-Reach Clipper was developed to solve the age-old problem of trimming hard to reach tree branches and limbs, as well as brush. The design was made to eliminate the unsafe practice of trimming limbs with a chain saw from a loader bucket or ladder.

P & W Manufacturing was started by John Parkhurst and the clipper was originally built in an unheated barn in Hughesville, Missouri. The company later moved into a new, modern facility in Sedalia.

In January 2002, Precision Manufacturing acquired the assets of P & W Engineering. All employees were retained and continue to produce the Hy-Reach clipper. Precision Manufacturing uses only the finest quality raw material and produces the majority of its components in house.

The clipper is used by professionals in addition to the many satisfied landowners. The Hy-Reach clipper has been used to clear hundreds of acres of land for golf courses and other development. Several Federal, State, County and City maintenance departments own and use the Hy-Reach Clipper, which has been patented in three different countries.

Wildlife Ridge Winery started out as a dream, and turned into a reality March 1st, 2013. Kevin and I are avid wine drinkers, and have enjoyed visiting wineries throughout Missouri. As our love for wine grew, we decided to build a 3.5 acre lake on our 98 acre farm, along with a facility for wine tastings, wine and gift sales. As we start our new venture we will be purchasing all our grapes from other Missouri vineyards and then start the planting process of our own small vineyard in late 2014 or 2015. Once our vines become mature we will then start harvesting our own grapes as well as still purchase others.

If you are looking for a place to taste some great wine, join us at Wildlife Ridge Winery, conveniently located 14 miles South of Sedalia, MO. in Pettis County at the intersection of State Routes V & M in the little town of Bahner with a Smithton address. Our facility is fully ADA compliant; there are no steps or steep inclines to deal with so come out and enjoy yourself.
