* About Us *

Inhale the aroma of some of the best barbeque in Missouri while you

take a look around. This unique emporium and cafe originated from a

small package liquor store, which offers a large selection of import &

specialty beers, domestic & import wines, spirits of all kinds, and

various novelties.

Red Shanty Barbeque & Roadside Cafe - a Lafayette County original

restaurant - is a mosaic of time salvaged from a Tabo Creek corn crib,

a Lexington finishing school, a Bates City barn, the Concordia Co-op,

a Mayview farmhouse, Leidigh Lumber Co., a Sears & Roebuck mail

order barn in Freedom Township, and the KCI Airport. When

entering the front door it is not easy to miss the seventeen foot, old

pine counter previously used in Hancock’s Dry Goods Store, which is

now a permanent fixture at Red Shanty.

Red Shanty Roadside Cafe features real hardwood smoked meats,

including barbeque ribs, beef brisket, pulled pork, whole hog sausage,

accompanied by homemade sides prepared from scratch daily.

Try the Frog Pollard sandwich named after a true local Higginsville

icon that we and many others were privileged to know. Along with

great barbeque, the roadside cafe features Red Plate Specials of

homestyle comfort foods and desserts such as Sawdust Pie &

Ooey Goey Butter Cake.

The proprietors of Red Shanty are Kenton & Annette Dittmer.

We hope you enjoy your dining experience and return for many more.

6000-4000

BC

Viticulture, the selective cultivation of grape vines for making wine, is believed to originate in

the mountains between the Black and Caspian seas (modern Armenia).

3000-2000

BC

Beer making flourishes in Sumerian/Mesopotamian civilization (modern day Iraq) with recipes

for over twenty varieties of beer recorded on clay tablets. Beer is unrefined and usually drunk through a straw because it had large quantities of grain and mash in it. Wine production and

trade become an important part of Mediterranean commerce and culture. Ships carry large

quantities between cities.

900-800 BC Extensive, large scale vineyards laid out in Assyria (modern Iraq) produced over 10,000 skins

of wine for the new capitol at Nimrud by Assurbanipal II.

768 First specific reference to the use of hops in beer from the Abbey St. Denis in France.

1100 Alcohol distillation is documented by the medical school at Salerno, Italy. The product of the

distillation is named 'spirits' in reference to it being the extracted spirit of the wine.

Middle Ages Distillation of grain alcohol in Europe follows the earlier distillation of wine.

1516 German Beer Purity Law ("Rheinheitsgebot") makes it illegal to make beer with anything but barley, hops, and pure water.

1550 - 1575 England. Thomas Nash describes widespread inebriety in Elizabethan England; drunkenness is

mentioned for the first time as a crime, and preventive statutes multiply.

1606 England. Parliament passes "The Act to Repress the Odious and Loathsome Sin of Drunkenness"

1650 - 1675

America. New England colonies attempt to establish a precise definition of drunkenness that includes the time spent drinking, amount, and behavior. Massachusetts laws against home-brews

are reaffirmed (1654); a law forbidding the payment of wages in the form of alcohol results in a

labor strike (1672).

1770s Viticulture brought to Alta California. Within a century, it became one of the great wine-producing regions of the world.

1791 The Act of 1791 (popularly called the "Whiskey Tax") enacted a tax on both publicly and

privately distilled whiskey.

1793 The 'Whiskey Rebellion' of Pennsylvania, during which government troops were used to make

arrests of a handful of distillery leaders who were refusing to pay taxes on their products.

1802 The 'Whiskey Tax' was repealed by Thomas Jefferson who called it 'infernal,' and 'hostile to the

genius of a free people'.

1814-1817 A new alcohol tax is temporarily imposed in the United States to help pay for the War of 1812.

1860 1,138 legal alcohol distilleries were operating in the United States producing 88 million gallons

of liquor per year.

1862 Abraham Lincoln imposed a new tax on liquor (the Act of July 1) to help pay the bills from the Civil War. This act also created the office of internal revenue. The alcohol tax began at 20 cents

per gallon in 1862 and had risen to $2.00 per gallon just over two years later.

1906 Pure Food and Drug Act is passed, regulating the labelling of products containing Alcohol,

Opiates, Cocaine, and Cannabis, among others. The law went into effect Jan 1, 1907.

Jan 16, 1920 The 18th Amendment (prohibition amendment) takes effect, prohibiting the manufacture, sale,

transportation, import, and export of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes.

1920-1933 The illicit alcohol trade booms in the United States.

Dec 5, 1933 The prohibition of alcohol is repealed with the passage of the 21st Amendment, effective

immediately.

1934-1970

Once the Eighteenth Amendment was repealed, the excise tax on alcohol began to climb again. In 1934 the tax was $2.00 per gallon, in 1940 it was $3.00, $4.00 in 1941, $6.00 in 1942, $9.00

in 1944, and $10.50 in 1970. At this point a moonshiner could produce and sell a gallon of

alcohol for half the amount of the tax alone.

Oct 14, 1978 US President Jimmy Carter signs bill legalizing home brewing of beer for the first time since Prohibition.

Red Shanty Lodging It’s alright…go ahead…relax on the large front porch, on the sunny patio, or in the lush green grass near the lake, sipping your favorite

beverage. You can actually hear the sounds of being away from city life: birds singing their songs, an occasional squirrel scurrying about, and the wind moving through the trees. At night, gaze up at a sky full of stars.

heart of relaxing and picturesque rural outskirts of Higginsville, Missouri. Lake Mizzou Guest House sits near a 17 acre fishing lake and is fully furnished and equipped for your private enjoyment.
