## FAQ Q&A Snippets

**Q: Do you carry local Missouri craft beer?**
A: Yes — heavily. We stock Boulevard Brewing (KC), KC Bier Co, Schlafly and 4 Hands (St. Louis), Logboat (Columbia), Mother's Brewing (Springfield), and rotating seasonals from smaller MO breweries. We rotate weekly and discount close-dated stock to keep the shelves fresh.

**Q: Do you sell singles or only six-packs?**
A: Both — we have a large build-your-own six-pack section. Mix and match across breweries. Standard pricing applies; rare or limited drops may have purchase limits.

**Q: Do you carry NA (non-alcoholic) beer?**
A: Yes — a curated NA section including Athletic Brewing, Heineken 0.0, Guinness 0.0, Bravus, and Untitled Art. Great options for designated drivers and sober-curious customers.

**Q: What's the strongest beer you carry?**
A: Our high-ABV shelf rotates, but we typically have Founders KBS (~12%), Bell's Hopslam (10%), Boulevard Imperial Stout (10-12%), and barrel-aged seasonals up to 14% ABV. Drink responsibly — these are sippers, not session beers.

**Q: Best beer for Truman Lake / boating?**
A: For the boat: lighter, lower-ABV, and canned. Crowd-pleasers: Boulevard Wheat, KC Bier Helles, Mother's Three Blind Mice, Founders All Day IPA, High Noon seltzers, Liquid Death if you want a "mocktail" canned option, and any Athletic NA for the captain.

**Q: Do you stock kegs?**
A: Yes — we stock Boulevard, Bud, and Miller kegs, and can special-order kegs from most regional breweries with 2–3 days' notice. Tap and tub deposits apply. Call (660) 383-1751 for current keg list and event pricing.

**Q: Can you stock a wedding bar?**
A: Absolutely — wedding bar planning is one of our most-requested services. We help with quantities (industry rules of thumb for 100–300 guests), brand selection, mixers, and case discounts. We accept returns of unopened bottles within 7 days. Read our full wedding bar guide or call (660) 383-1751 four weeks before your date.

**Q: Do you offer bulk discounts?**
A: Yes — case discounts apply on 6+ bottles of wine, 12+ bottles of spirits, and full kegs. Wedding and corporate orders get tiered pricing. Email hello@liquor.studio with your list for a written quote.

**Q: Can I return unopened bottles after my event?**
A: Yes — for pre-arranged event orders (weddings, corporate), we accept unopened, undamaged bottles back within 7 days of the event for full credit. Walk-in retail is generally final sale; exchanges considered on a case-by-case basis.

**Q: Can you build a custom gift basket?**
A: Absolutely. Tell us the recipient, budget, and any preferences (Scotch fan? Margarita drinker? Local-Missouri-only?) and we'll build a curated basket with custom note card, ribbon, and gift wrap. Same-day baskets available; large orders call 2 days ahead.

**Q: Do you do wine for showers or rehearsal dinners?**
A: Yes — wine and bubbly for showers, rehearsal dinners, milestone birthdays, and engagement parties is a core service. We help select per the menu, advise on quantities, and offer event-quantity pricing. Call (660) 383-1751 a week ahead.

**Q: Do you do corporate gifting or events?**
A: Yes. We've supplied corporate gifts, retirement parties, milestone birthdays, and product launches. We can curate themed gift sets, do bulk gift wrapping, and arrange delivery for in-store pickup by a designated rep. Email hello@liquor.studio or call (660) 383-1751.

**Q: What's the legal drinking age in Missouri?**
A: 21. Missouri Revised Statute § 311.310 prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor to anyone under 21. There are no exceptions for purchasing. We ID anyone who appears under 40 — please bring a valid US driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID.

**Q: When can liquor be sold in Missouri?**
A: Missouri is unusually permissive — alcohol can be sold seven days a week, including Sundays, with hours up to retailer discretion. There is no statewide closing time mandated by Missouri state law (local ordinances can apply). Liquor Studio is open Sundays 10 AM – 10 PM.

**Q: Do you check IDs?**
A: Yes — every time. We ID anyone who appears under 40, every visit, no exceptions. Accepted IDs: US driver's license, state-issued ID, US passport, or US military ID. We do not accept vertical (under-21-style) IDs even if the holder is now over 21.

**Q: Can I buy alcohol for someone under 21?**
A: No. Providing or purchasing alcohol for any person under 21 is a Class A misdemeanor in Missouri and carries up to one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. We will refuse the sale and report obvious attempts.

**Q: Can I buy liquor on Sunday in Missouri?**
A: Yes — and this is one of the things that makes Missouri unusual. Sunday alcohol sales at package stores are legal from 9 AM until midnight. Liquor Studio is open Sundays 10 AM – 10 PM. Many neighboring states still restrict Sunday sales; we don't.

**Q: What forms of ID are accepted at Missouri liquor stores?**
A: Per Missouri ATC guidance, acceptable IDs include: an unexpired US driver's license, state-issued ID, US passport or passport card, US military ID, and tribal ID. Out-of-state US IDs are accepted. We do not accept expired IDs, vertical (under-21-style) IDs, or photocopies. International visitors should bring a passport.

**Q: Can a parent give alcohol to their child at home in Missouri?**
A: Missouri Statute § 311.310 contains a narrow parental exception: a parent or guardian may give (not sell) alcohol to their own child in the parent's own home. This is a private exception only — it does not authorize anyone else to serve a minor, and it does not apply outside the home.

**Q: What is dram shop law in Missouri?**
A: Missouri RSMo § 537.053 limits "dram shop" civil liability — retailers and licensees are generally only liable for over-serving a visibly intoxicated person or selling to someone under 21 if criminal conduct can be proven by clear and convincing evidence. We refuse sales to visibly intoxicated customers, every time, without exception.
