From opening our second brick-and-mortar, Off Elm, to cozy cocktails at Frosted, 2024 was packed with unforgettable moments for our team. We celebrated milestones like our 6th season at Tower Grove Farmers' Market, our second year at The Vandy, + our first-ever St. Patrick’s Day Block Party.

We shook things up at countless events like the St Louis Symphony Orchestra Forest Park concert, Homie Hospitality Dinners at Such and Such Farm, and our 3rd year at Music at the Intersection.

We couldn’t have done it without the love and support of our team and community. Your cheers, your presence, and your belief in what we do keep us inspired every single day.

Here’s to another year of raising glasses and creating memories. Thank you for being part of our journey! 🥂
