Throughout August we're partnering with KidSmart St. Louis to help local students begin school with the supplies they need.

Every year KidSmart helps equip approximately 90,000 local students with school supplies and educational resources through local schools and teachers.

Our goal is simple: Help as many kids as we can walk into school feeling prepared. Because every child deserves that opportunity.

How to Help?

• Drop school supplies at following locations: Affton & Valley Park
• Make a financial donation to kid smart page (link below)
• Shop featured products at Barrel Blends Affton and Valley Park. Part of profits will be donated
• Attend our events

Whether you donate supplies, contribute to KidSmart, attend one of our August events, or purchase featured products that support the cause, you'll be helping local students while becoming part of a celebration we hope you'll remember. We'll reveal the complete whiskey lineup, drawing and event details in just a few days.

Details about Whiskey drawing and Community Celebrations are further down.

Allocated whiskey drawings have been part of Barrel Blends for years. This time, we wanted to use the excitement around one to do something meaningful for the community around us. You don't have to buy whiskey to participate.

You don't even have to shop with us. If you'd simply like to help a local student start the school year with the supplies they need, that alone means a lot to us.

And if you were already planning to stop by Barrel Blends for a bottle, a glass of wine, or a drink at the bar, we'll count that toward the drawing too. Click below for more details.

All month long, our goal has been simple: bring our guests, team, and industry partners together to do some good for our community. On Saturday, August 29, we’re wrapping it all up with an afternoon and evening of great drinks, great people, and one final opportunity to support KidSmart. Click below to get more details.
