We take great pride in being located across the street from the boyhood home of Mark Twain, but we have some history, too. First of all, one of the brewery's owners, Bill Martin, is related to Moses Bates, Hannibal's founding father, as Bates' sister Winifred is Martin's great-great-great grandmother. According to letters, Moses and Winifred had planned a short trip to Kentucky to visit their uncle, but Moses fled west in a huff after an argument with his father. Winifred said to their dad something along the lines of, "Don't worry. I'll go fetch him, and in a few short days, we'll return home." Well, neither ever returned home again, and the rest is Hannibal history.
