23 Best Craft Breweries near Maplewood

“Came for the dog-friendly air-conditioned tap room (love a good patio but not in the St. Louis summer), stayed for the *phenomenal* food. The Szechuan Chicken Salad Sandwich was utterly fantastic, fresh, and original, the Summer Caesar Salad was refreshing and light, and the Grilled Peach Salad was that perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Absolutely amazing. So glad we found this gem of a place!“

“We stopped here for a beer when we had an hour or so to kill. I look forward to returning what I have more time and will it be able to eat some pizza? The beers were yummy. Since it was our first time, we had several five ounce pours, a great way to get to know a brewery. The pizza looked smelled delicious too.“

“We experienced the Clydesdale VIP tour yesterday and highly recommend it. Our guide was Randy and he did a fabulous job of sharing information regarding the history of Anheuser-Busch and how the Clydesdales became part of their iconic signature. The biggest thrill of the tour was meeting Lester, a semi retired former lead horse on a Clydesdale team. We were able to able to talk to him, pet him and take photos with him. It was a dream come true experience!“

“We did the Day Fresh tour on a Thursday morning (10:30am) in June. The tour lasted about 90 minutes with several stops during the tour. We visited the Clydesdale horses and stable, fermenting and bottling buildings, sampled beer while we learned about the ingredients in Budweiser beer, took a trolley ride back to the staring place, and ended the tour with a 20oz draft as part of the tour. Also part of the Day Fresh tour, everyone over 21 was given a bottle of beer that had been bottled less than 24 hours before. This tour was great-make sure to spend time in the gift shop after the tour. So many fun gifts and souvenirs. Highly recommend!!
*side note* closed toed shoes are highly recommended by AB“

“In town from Ohio for the UD-SLU game and arrived at Blue Jay Brewing 45 minutes before scheduled opening (unknowingly). Our first time there based on a recommendation down near Pappy’s. Jay saw us outside, pulling on a locked door, and invited us in. The beer was very good - I had the Monarch, a Munich style Dunkel. Jay and his wife are doing it right. Recommend you make this one of your stops while in town. GO FLYERS!“

“Before their great beer could be found in cans at your local grocery store, there was the Civil Life Brewing Company tap room and restaurant. Great craft beer and perfect pub food & comfort food served in a German brew house style space. Fantastic outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Worth the trip to South City.“

“Attended a birthday party here yesterday. Great ciders and food. Staff was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place!! I recently threw my husband’s 40th birthday here and it was truly perfect. The owners and staff were so incredibly kind, accommodating, helpful and just all around really great people! Not to mention everyone that came was really blown away by how perfect this space was! The inside/outside combo, how it’s super kid friendly and pet friendly was a massive bonus. Honestly nothing like this in STL. Thank you for being such a great addition to such a special milestone!“

“Super cool atmosphere. Trivia was soooooo fun! Great selection of beers and other drinks. Amazing bar tenders. Did not see the cat that is usually there so sad about that.

“Anheuser-Busch Biergarten was a fantastic venue to photograph a wedding! And we definitely want to highlight that Heather Hammett is an amazing coordinator! She kept the wedding on schedule and was very attentive to the bride and groom and their needs. We highly recommend her and the venue!

“We visited the other day and enjoyed HiPointe. The burger and sweet potato tots were not only amazing the food looked just like the pictures. The cheeseburger egg rolls were wonderfully hot throughout devouring them. We had the lavender drink which was ok however I’m not a drinker so I’m not sure how it was supposed to taste 🥰. We will be returning Opening Day!!!!“

“I keep coming back! Food is terrific! Games to play. It’s not just beer. There are incredible cocktails!! I have come and sat outside on a date with my hubby. Today I brought my three year old niece and she gobbled up the steak tacos before I could get a pic.“

“The food is great and the bartenders are super helpful.“

“Great outdoor patio, a lot of good beer selections, and love their pretzel appetizer. The only reason I knocked off a star is because when I went they didnt have many wine offerings, I know this is a beer garden but as a non beer lover it just would've been nice to have a few options, but will definitely be back!“

“Great eats, drinks, service, and ambiance!“
